Vyce comes back from behind

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

First place: Vyce, with 97 points. At one stretch, 8 good hands in a row.

Runner-up sounds good — gold sounded better. edge, with 83 points. In the second of the closing eights: edge said 2, made 5, and the evening was ruined for Cretu. edge was even in front after the second one-card hand.

Third, on the podium: Cretu, up there with eyes on the top step. In the third of the closing eights: Cretu said 0, scooped 3, and Elena was left counting the pieces. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Cretu didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Last place, with dignity: Elena, with 64 points. Somebody had to do it. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Elena said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
