The comeback of Mihai

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

Last place, with dignity: Raluca, with 75 points. Somebody had to do it. In the last of the opening eights: Raluca said 0, made 3, and the evening was ruined for Elena. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Raluca didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, and on the podium: Ana, with 85 points. In the last of the closing eights: Ana said 2, scooped 5, and Elena was left counting the pieces. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Ana said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Elena finishes second, 6 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. Elena was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand. Elena was even in front after the six-card hand on the way down.

First place: Mihai, with 103 points. The rest, see you in the replay. Mihai only went in front at the very last hand.

Well played everyone — and especially Mihai!
