The comeback of Emi

The lead passed from hand to hand, 5 times over — it was anyone's guess.

Last place: Mihai, with 58 points. 3 hands in a row: the table said and did, Mihai said and... hoped. It didn't hold. After the second of the closing eights, Mihai was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Elena completed the podium with 66 points. Elena was even in front after the six-card hand on the way down. 9 good hands in a row — at one point, Elena was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Ana took the runner-up spot with 86 points. Ana was even in front after the second of the middle eights.

Emi won the game with 98 points. In the second of the middle eights: Emi called 2, took 5, and Elena was left out in the cold.

Well played everyone — and especially Emi!
