The comeback of Ionela

5 changes of leader: this one was a tug of war.

Last place: Ana, with 66 points. Top of the table after the three-card hand on the way down, then straight to the bottom. The plan at home didn't match the one at the table. 4 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, and on the podium: Mihai, with 74 points. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Mihai said and... hoped. It didn't hold. Mihai was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Luis finished second, just 1 point short of the win. The place above was a single point away. Luis was even in front after the second of the closing eights.

Ionela won with 114 points, by a whisker: just 1 point ahead. Ionela only went in front at the very last hand. In the first of the closing eights: Ionela said 0, scooped 7, and Ana was left counting the pieces.

Well played everyone — and especially Ionela!
