Olga takes the table

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 35 slips at the table and scores from 110 down to 58.

Olga comes out on top of everyone, with 110 points. The cards were kind.

Luis took the runner-up spot with 101 points. Luis spent a long time on the red lantern and came out clean — determined not to buy the round. At one stretch, 8 good hands in a row.

Third, on the podium: Elena, up there with eyes on the top step. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Elena didn't — but insisted, with dignity. Elena was even in front after the seven-card hand on the way down.

Mihai took last place without any nerves at all, on 58 points. In the third of the closing eights: Mihai called 2, took 5, and Elena was left out in the cold. After the two-card hand on the way up, Mihai was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
