The lead kept changing — Mihai came out on top

6 changes of leader: this one was a tug of war.

Ana took last place without any nerves at all, on 59 points. In the third of the opening eights: Ana said 1, made 4, and the evening was ruined for Kiki. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, on the podium: Kiki, up there with eyes on the top step. Kiki said they'd take nothing in the last of the opening eights... and took some. Whist listens, then does the opposite.

Runner-up sounds good — gold sounded better. Elena, with 102 points. Elena was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Mihai gathered 110 points and the hearts of the crowd. Bravo! At one stretch, 7 good hands in a row.

Well played everyone — and especially Mihai!
