Scorpio04 never gave up the lead

5 players, 27 hands, one winner and a pile of excuses. Let's see how it went.

Nico closed the table from the back, on 79 points — there is always a next game. In the third of the opening eights: Nico called 0, took 3, and Kiki and Pity were left out in the cold. Nico was ahead of Yurii right up to the last hand.

Yurii finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 80 points. Yurii got past Nico at the very last hand. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Yurii didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, on the podium: Kiki, up there with eyes on the top step. Kiki said they'd take nothing in the seven-card hand on the way down... and took some. Whist listens, then does the opposite. In the four-card hand on the way up the table couldn't make up its mind about Kiki: 1 chair and 1 kiss flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

Pity finishes second, 11 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. In the six-card hand on the way up: Pity said 1, made 4, and the evening was ruined for Kiki and Nico. In the six-card hand on the way up the table couldn't make up its mind about Pity: 3 chairs and 1 kiss flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

Scorpio04 won the game with 123 points. In front from the last of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. 15 good hands in a row — at one point, Scorpio04 was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards. Scorpio04 cried laughing 3 times 😂 — a fun evening, at least on one side of the table.

Well played everyone — and especially Scorpio04!
