The comeback of Elena

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

Last place: Mihai, with 98 points. 11 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Ana finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 5th, with 100 points. In the last of the opening eights: Ana said 1, made 4, and the evening was ruined for Mihai. After the two-card hand on the way up, Ana was leading the table — but the last hands had other plans.

Ioana finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 120 points. In the third of the middle eights: Ioana said 0, made 3, and the evening was ruined for Vlad. Ioana was ahead of Vlad right up to the last hand.

Vlad completed the podium with 124 points. The last hand decided it: Vlad went past Ioana right on the line. Vlad was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Radu finished second, just 3 points short of the win. Radu was ahead of Elena right up to the last hand. Radu was even in front after the fifth of the closing eights.

3 points. 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. It didn't start well — only 5th after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
