Elena comes back from behind

The lead changed hands 8 times — nobody got comfortable at the top.

1 point. That's all. Elena won in the blink of an eye — so don't blink. Elena only went in front at the very last hand. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Elena didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Luis led for 10 hands but finished second, 1 point behind. Luis got past edge at the very last hand. The place above was a single point away.

Third, on the podium: edge, up there with eyes on the top step. In the first of the middle eights: edge said 2, scooped 5, and Vyce was left counting the pieces. edge was ahead of Elena right up to the last hand.

Last place: Vyce, with 76 points. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Vyce didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
