Gigel comes back from behind

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

Champion of the evening: Gigel, with 146 points. The rest, see you in the replay. It didn't start well — only 3rd after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there. 14 good hands in a row — at one point, Gigel was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards. In the five-card hand on the way up, 2 chairs flew at Gigel within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.

Daniela finishes second, 11 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. Daniela was even in front after the seven-card hand on the way down. In the third of the closing eights, 2 chairs flew at Daniela within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.

Third, and on the podium: Roua, with 99 points. Roua got past Adrian Gh at the very last hand. Roua spent a good while in last place and climbed out of it.

In 4th place, Adrian Gh, on 96 points. Adrian was ahead of Roua right up to the last hand. After the two-card hand on the way up, Adrian was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Neither at the front nor at the back: Radu in 5th, with 95 points. The comfort zone. The last hand decided it: Radu went past Elena right on the line. The place above was a single point away.

Last, but with style: Elena, with 95 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. Level on points with Radu, and behind only on the tie-break. Elena was ahead of Radu right up to the last hand.

Well played everyone — and especially Gigel!
