MrXciting, from start to finish

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 41 slips at the table and scores from 95 down to 56.

MrXciting comes out on top of everyone, with 95 points. The cards were kind. In front from the second of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. At one stretch, 8 good hands in a row.

Second place for Mihai, with 76 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. Mihai left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Ana rounds out the podium with 63 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. 3 hands in a row: Ana broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Last, but with style: Elena, with 56 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. After the two-card hand on the way up, Elena was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
