The comeback of Alina

A game of broken contracts — 40 of them around the table, and scores from 79 all the way down to 67.

Cretu closes out the table, with 67 points. "Last one buys the coffee" — as they say at the table. In the second of the closing eights, Cretu bid 2 and took 6 — and Kiki went down with it. Cretu was ahead of Kiki right up to the last hand.

Third, on the podium: Kiki, up there with eyes on the top step. Kiki got past Cretu at the very last hand. Kiki cried laughing 6 times 😂 — the cheapest entertainment at the table.

Emi took the runner-up spot with 74 points. In the second of the opening eights: Emi called 2, took 5, and Cretu was left out in the cold. Emi was ahead of Alina right up to the last hand.

First place and peace of mind: Alina, with 79 points. Alina only went in front at the very last hand. 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?
