The comeback of Elena

A game of broken contracts — 34 of them around the table, and scores from 104 all the way down to 72.

Last place: Mihai, with 72 points. 11 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Luis completed the podium with 83 points. In the first of the closing eights: Luis called 2, took 5, and Mihai was left out in the cold. The place above was a single point away.

Ana led for 10 hands but finished second, 20 points behind. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity. At one stretch, 10 good hands in a row.

Elena took the game with 104 points and a 20-point cushion — never really in doubt.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
