Kiki comes back from behind
5 players · 27 September 2026
10 changes of leader: this one was a tug of war.
Kiki won with 103 points, by a whisker: just 1 point ahead. It didn't start well — only 3rd after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.
Emi finished second, just 1 point short of the win. In the last of the opening eights: Emi said 0, scooped 4, and Kiki was left counting the pieces. The place above was a single point away. Emi couldn't bear to look 4 times 🙈 — some hands are better not watched.
Petru rounds out the podium with 92 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. The last hand decided it: Petru went past Daniel S right on the line. Petru was even in front after the last of the opening eights. In the fourth of the closing eights, 2 chairs flew at Petru within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.
In 4th place, Daniel S, on 90 points. Daniel was ahead of Petru right up to the last hand. After the seven-card hand on the way up, Daniel was 2nd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.
Alice closes out the table, with 89 points. "Last one buys the coffee" — as they say at the table. The place above was a single point away. 2 hands in a row: Alice broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.
Well played everyone. Same table next time?
