Ana comes back from behind

The lead passed from hand to hand, 9 times over — it was anyone's guess.

First place, no appeal: Ana, with 133 points.

Second place for Alice, with 121 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. 2 hands in a row: only Alice slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Alice. Alice was even in front after the three-card hand on the way down.

Kiki completed the podium with 108 points. 2 hands in a row: only Kiki slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Kiki. Kiki was even in front after the five-card hand on the way down.

Alina finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 106 points. After the three-card hand on the way up, Alina was leading the table — but the last hands had other plans.

Cristian Imparat finished 5th with 103 points. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Cristian said and... hoped. It didn't hold. In the third of the opening eights the table couldn't make up its mind about Cristian: 1 chair and 1 kiss flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

Last place, with dignity: Luis, with 101 points. Somebody had to do it. Luis said they'd take nothing in the seven-card hand on the way down... and took some. Whist listens, then does the opposite. Luis couldn't bear to look 5 times 🙈 — some hands are better not watched.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
