The comeback of Ana

A game of broken contracts — 36 of them around the table, and scores from 108 all the way down to 54.

Last place, with dignity: Kiki, with 54 points. Somebody had to do it. In the first of the middle eights: Kiki said 0, made 3, and the evening was ruined for Elena.

Elena completed the podium with 66 points. 2 hands in a row: only Elena slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Elena. Elena was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Mihai led for 10 hands but finished second, 12 points behind. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Mihai said and... hoped. It didn't hold. At one stretch, 10 good hands in a row.

Ana crossed the finish line first, on 108 points. It didn't start well — only 3rd after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
