MrXciting, from start to finish

Another evening at the green baize, and it had a bit of everything.

MrXciting wins by 44 clear. That's not whist any more, it's a parade with a brass band. In front from the fourth of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about.

Cristi took second with 96 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. The last hand decided it: Cristi went past Pity right on the line. 13 good hands in a row — at one point, Cristi was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards. In the fourth of the opening eights, 2 chairs flew at Cristi within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.

Pity completed the podium with 94 points. Pity was ahead of Cristi right up to the last hand. 2 hands in a row: only Pity slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Pity.

Cretu finished 4th with 82 points. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Cretu didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Last, but with style: Vlad, with 79 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. The last of the opening eights: Vlad called 6 with the heart, not the cards. Eyes bigger than the hand. The last of the opening eights: 2 chairs thrown at Vlad in seconds 🪑 — the table spoke its mind, furnished and all.

Well played everyone — and especially MrXciting!
