Mihai takes the table

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 34 slips at the table and scores from 127 down to 52.

Mihai took the game with 127 points and a 44-point cushion — never really in doubt. 19 good hands in a row — at one point, Mihai was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards. And that despite a slip in the very last hand.

Elena took second with 83 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Elena didn't — but insisted, with dignity. From the tail of the table to a warm spot: Elena plays right down to the last card.

Ana completed the podium with 71 points. 2 hands in a row: only Ana slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Ana.

edge took last place without any nerves at all, on 52 points. Started like a champion — top of the table after the last of the opening eights — and finished like a tragedy. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only edge didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
