The comeback of Mihai

The lead passed from hand to hand, 8 times over — it was anyone's guess.

Last, but with style: Daniela, with 84 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. In the last of the closing eights: Daniela said 2, scooped 5, and Elena was left counting the pieces. Daniela was ahead of Luis right up to the last hand.

Elena rounds out the podium with 85 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. The last hand decided it: Elena went past Daniela right on the line. 3 hands in a row: Elena broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Luis led for 11 hands but finished second, 7 points behind. The last hand decided it: Luis went past Elena right on the line. 2 hands in a row: Luis broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

First place: Mihai, with 96 points. The rest, see you in the replay. In the third of the middle eights: Mihai said 2, made 6, and the evening was ruined for Daniela. It didn't start well — only 3rd after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
