Emi never gave up the lead

A game of broken contracts — 40 of them around the table, and scores from 89 all the way down to 59.

Last place, with dignity: Ana, with 59 points. Somebody had to do it. In the last of the middle eights: Ana said 3, made 7, and the evening was ruined for Elena and Emi. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Ana didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Third, on the podium: Ioana, up there with eyes on the top step. Ioana left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

Elena finishes second, 4 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. Elena left the robot at the wheel most of the evening and still came out respectable. Teamwork with the server.

First place, no appeal: Emi, with 89 points. In front from the third of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. 7 good hands in a row — at one point, Emi was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Well played everyone — and especially Emi!
