edge wins the evening

One evening, 5 players, a single crown. The rest — stories to tell over coffee.

unf0rgettable closes out the table, with 83 points. "Last one buys the coffee" — as they say at the table. 2 hands in a row: only unf0rgettable slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but unf0rgettable.

Neither at the front nor at the back: Laura in 4th, with 88 points. The comfort zone. In the first of the middle eights, Laura bid 2 and took 8 — and Mihai and edge went down with them. Before the last eights, only 9 points off the podium — the pace just didn't hold.

Third, on the podium: Ana, up there with eyes on the top step. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity. Ana was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Mihai finished second, just 1 point short of the win. The place above was a single point away. At one stretch, 7 good hands in a row.

edge won with 117 points, by a whisker: just 1 point ahead.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
