Vlad comes back from behind

9 changes of leader: this one was a tug of war.

Vlad comes out on top of everyone, with 122 points. The cards were kind.

Ana finishes second, 13 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. The last hand decided it: Ana went past Elena right on the line.

Third, and on the podium: Elena, with 104 points. Elena was ahead of Ana right up to the last hand. Elena was even in front after the two-card hand on the way down.

Neither at the front nor at the back: Mihai in 4th, with 103 points. The comfort zone. The last hand decided it: Mihai went past Ioana right on the line. In the first of the middle eights, Mihai bid 1 and took 4 — and Ana went down with it.

In 5th place, Ioana, on 99 points. Ioana was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand. After the two-card hand on the way up, Ioana was leading the table — but the last hands had other plans.

Radu closed the table from the back, on 89 points — there is always a next game. 12 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Well played everyone — and especially Vlad!
