Radu comes back from behind

The lead passed from hand to hand, 4 times over — it was anyone's guess.

First place, no appeal: Radu, with 114 points. It didn't start well — only 5th after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.

Second place for unf0rgettable, with 98 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. In the last of the closing eights: unf0rgettable said 0, scooped 3, and Ana and Mihai were left counting the pieces.

Mihai rounds out the podium with 96 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. Mihai left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Elena finished 4th with 95 points. The place above was a single point away. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Elena didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Ana closed the table from the back, on 85 points — there is always a next game. From leader to red lantern. The little wedge tipped the big cart — and the cart was Ana. In the second of the opening eights, Ana bid 0 and took 5 — and unf0rgettable went down with it.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
