A tug of war, won by Mihai

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

Champion of the evening: Mihai, with 106 points. The rest, see you in the replay. Mihai only went in front at the very last hand. 6 good hands in a row — at one point, Mihai was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Second place for Ana, with 100 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. Ana was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand. Ana was even in front after the seven-card hand on the way down.

Kiki rounds out the podium with 70 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. In the five-card hand on the way up: Kiki called 0, took 3, and Ana was left out in the cold.

Last place, with dignity: Elena, with 58 points. Somebody had to do it. After the first of the closing eights, Elena was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
