The comeback of Elena

A game of broken contracts — 36 of them around the table, and scores from 98 all the way down to 59.

Ana took last place without any nerves at all, on 59 points. In the third of the closing eights: Ana said 0, scooped 3, and Kiki was left counting the pieces. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Ana said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Third, and on the podium: Kiki, with 84 points. In the third of the opening eights: Kiki said 1, scooped 4, and Ana was left counting the pieces. Kiki was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Mihai finished second, just 3 points short of the win. Mihai left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

3 points. That's all. Elena won in the blink of an eye — so don't blink.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
