A tug of war, won by Mihai

The lead changed hands 6 times — nobody got comfortable at the top.

First place and peace of mind: Mihai, with 100 points. 2 hands in a row: only Mihai slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Mihai. 7 good hands in a row — at one point, Mihai was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Second place went to Sebi, with 94 points. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Sebi said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Ionela rounds out the podium with 93 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. The place above was a single point away. 2 hands in a row: Ionela broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Last, but with style: Luis, with 87 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. Top of the table after the last of the opening eights, then straight to the bottom. The plan at home didn't match the one at the table.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
