The lead kept changing — crista came out on top

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

Last place, with dignity: Ionela, with 89 points. Somebody had to do it. In the second of the middle eights: Ionela said 0, made 3, and the evening was ruined for crista. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ionela didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, on the podium: Mihai, up there with eyes on the top step. Level on points with Luis, and behind only on the tie-break. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Mihai didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Luis finishes second, 10 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. 2 hands in a row: Luis broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs. Luis was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

crista comes out on top of everyone, with 102 points. The cards were kind. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only crista didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
