A tug of war, won by Elena

The lead passed from hand to hand, 6 times over — it was anyone's guess.

First place: Elena, with 92 points. The rest, see you in the replay. In the six-card hand on the way down: Elena said 1, made 4, and the evening was ruined for Mihai. At one stretch, 9 good hands in a row.

Runner-up sounds good — gold sounded better. Luis, with 83 points. In the first of the middle eights: Luis said 0, scooped 4, and Mihai was left counting the pieces. Luis was even in front after the two-card hand on the way up.

Mihai completed the podium with 74 points. Mihai was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Ana closed the table from the back, on 62 points — there is always a next game. From leader to red lantern. The little wedge tipped the big cart — and the cart was Ana.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
