Ana never gave up the lead

A game of broken contracts — 36 of them around the table, and scores from 114 all the way down to 48.

Mihai took last place without any nerves at all, on 48 points. In the six-card hand on the way up: Mihai said 2, made 5, and the evening was ruined for Ana. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Mihai didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, and on the podium: Daniela, with 76 points. Daniela was ahead of Elena right up to the last hand.

Elena took second with 78 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. The last hand decided it: Elena went past Daniela right on the line.

Ana won at a stroll, with 114 points and 36 clear of the rest. In front from the first of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. At one stretch, 8 good hands in a row.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
