Daniel never gave up the lead

A game of broken contracts — 34 of them around the table, and scores from 127 all the way down to 54.

Mihai took last place without any nerves at all, on 54 points. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Mihai didn't — but insisted, with dignity. After the two-card hand on the way up, Mihai was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Third, on the podium: Coca, up there with eyes on the top step. At one stretch, 8 good hands in a row.

Luis took second with 95 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. 2 hands in a row: Luis broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Daniel S won at a stroll, with 127 points and 32 clear of the rest. In front from the last of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. And that despite a slip in the very last hand.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
