Emi comes back from behind

The lead changed hands 5 times — nobody got comfortable at the top.

Emi gathered 126 points and the hearts of the crowd. Bravo! Emi only went in front at the very last hand. In the second of the middle eights: Emi said 2, scooped 5, and Cretu was left counting the pieces. Emi cried laughing 3 times 😂 — the cheapest entertainment at the table.

PaulP led for 22 hands but finished second, 6 points behind. PaulP was ahead of Emi right up to the last hand. 10 good hands in a row — at one point, PaulP was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Third, and on the podium: Nico, with 114 points. Nico was even in front after the six-card hand on the way down.

MnZ finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 94 points. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, MnZ said and... hoped. It didn't hold. From the tail of the table to a warm spot: MnZ plays right down to the last card.

In 5th place, Petru, on 79 points. After the two-card hand on the way up, Petru was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Last, but with style: Cretu, with 72 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. 14 broken contracts, collected like stamps. The seven-card hand on the way down: 2 chairs thrown at Cretu in seconds 🪑 — the table spoke its mind, furnished and all.

Well played everyone — and especially Emi!
