I've had this argument with friends before, and we've all settled on a "back-against-wall" concept. Because Gao is the MC and never loses, we aren't put into a direct suspense of "who's gonna win!?". Instead, subtly, we're asking ourselves "how's he gonna get out of this situation?" It is because we know that Gao will win because we are then shocked at how he wins despite the odds.

Have you seen how close Gao's been to losing? He's been at one life with no cards in hand, and he still manages to win. No, in reality, he shouldn't have won, but it still offers surprise and suspense.
