The comeback of Ioana

6 players, 30 hands, one winner and a pile of excuses. Let's see how it went.

Alexandru took last place without any nerves at all, on 39 points. In the second of the opening eights: Alexandru said 0, scooped 4, and Mihai was left counting the pieces.

Radu finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 5th, with 89 points. Radu was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Radu said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Mihai finished 4th with 95 points. Mihai got past Radu at the very last hand.

Elena completed the podium with 126 points. Elena was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Leize led for 19 hands but finished second, 1 point behind. The place above was a single point away. 11 good hands in a row — at one point, Leize was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Ioana won with 129 points, by a whisker: just 1 point ahead. Ioana only went in front at the very last hand. It didn't start well — only 4th after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
