Ionela comes back from behind

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 35 slips at the table and scores from 117 down to 43.

Ionela takes the game with 117 points and goes home happy.

Mihai led for 20 hands but finished second, 6 points behind. 2 hands in a row: only Mihai slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Mihai. 13 good hands in a row — at one point, Mihai was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Third, on the podium: Luis, up there with eyes on the top step. Luis said they'd take nothing in the last of the middle eights... and took some. Whist listens, then does the opposite.

Vyce took last place without any nerves at all, on 43 points. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Vyce said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
