The comeback of PaulP

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

Last place, with dignity: Petru, with 83 points. Somebody had to do it. Started like a champion — top of the table after the last of the opening eights — and finished like a tragedy. In the seven-card hand on the way down the table couldn't make up its mind about Petru: 1 chair and 1 kiss flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

In 5th place, Alina, on 93 points. Alina was even in front after the three-card hand on the way down. In the first of the middle eights, 2 chairs flew at Alina within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.

Alice finished 4th with 97 points. After the four-card hand on the way up, Alice was 2nd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans. In the third of the opening eights the table couldn't make up its mind about Alice: 1 chair and 2 kisses flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

Third, on the podium: Yurii, up there with eyes on the top step. In the seven-card hand on the way up: Yurii said 1, made 5, and the evening was ruined for Alina and Petru. In the seven-card hand on the way up the table couldn't make up its mind about Yurii: 2 chairs and 1 kiss flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

Second place for Cristi, with 103 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. At one stretch, 8 good hands in a row.

PaulP gathered 121 points and the hearts of the crowd. Bravo! In the fourth of the opening eights: PaulP said 4, made 8, and the evening was ruined for 3 others. Going into the last hand the lead was already 25 — that one was a lap of honour. PaulP declared the table on fire 8 times 🔥.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
