Ganó Mihai

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

Last place, with dignity: Ioana, with 82 points. Somebody had to do it. 13 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Radu finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 5th, with 92 points. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Radu said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

PaulP finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 97 points. After the five-card hand on the way up, PaulP was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Elena completed the podium with 102 points. Elena was even in front after the five-card hand on the way down.

Ana led for 17 hands but finished second, 17 points behind. One card, a single card, and Ana still got it wrong on the one-card hand. It happens even in the best houses.

Mihai crossed the finish line first, on 126 points. It didn't start well — only 4th after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there. At one stretch, 13 good hands in a row.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
