Radu comes back from behind

5 players · 26 September 2026

The lead passed from hand to hand, 7 times over — it was anyone's guess.

First place, no appeal: Radu, with 118 points. Radu only went in front at the very last hand. It didn't start well — only 4th after the opening eights — but it clearly didn't end there.

PaulP led for 11 hands but finished second, 4 points behind. PaulP was ahead of Radu right up to the last hand. 2 hands in a row: only PaulP slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but PaulP.

Third, on the podium: Elena, up there with eyes on the top step. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Elena didn't — but insisted, with dignity. Elena was even in front after the five-card hand on the way up.

Neither at the front nor at the back: Kiki in 4th, with 93 points. The comfort zone. 3 hands in a row: Kiki broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Pity closes out the table, with 92 points. "Last one buys the coffee" — as they say at the table. From leader to red lantern. The little wedge tipped the big cart — and the cart was Pity. 3 hands in a row: Pity broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
