الفوز لـ Ana

One evening, 6 players, a single crown. The rest — stories to tell over coffee.

Radu took last place without any nerves at all, on 81 points. In the third of the closing eights: Radu said 0, scooped 4, and Ioana and Mihai were left counting the pieces. 3 hands in a row: the table said and did, Radu said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

In 5th place, Elena, on 107 points. Elena left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Neither at the front nor at the back: Vlad in 4th, with 116 points. The comfort zone. 2 hands in a row: only Vlad slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Vlad. After the third of the closing eights, Vlad was leading the table — but the last hands had other plans.

Third, on the podium: Ioana, up there with eyes on the top step. Ioana was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand.

Mihai led for 10 hands but finished second, 2 points behind. Mihai got past Ioana at the very last hand. In the second of the middle eights: Mihai said 0, scooped 4, and Vlad was left counting the pieces.

2 points. That's all. Ana won in the blink of an eye — so don't blink. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity. It didn't start well — only 4th after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
