The story of the game

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 36 slips at the table and scores from 99 down to 68.

Champion of the evening: Mihai, with 99 points. The rest, see you in the replay. Mihai only went in front at the very last hand. It didn't start well — only 3rd after the first 4 hands — but it clearly didn't end there.

Ana led for 12 hands but finished second, 11 points behind. Hands 14 to 15: Ana broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Third, and on the podium: Elena, with 83 points. Hands 21–22: the table said and did, Elena said and... hoped. It didn't hold. Elena was even in front after hand 19.

Kiki took last place without any nerves at all, on 68 points. 12 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
