Mihai, from start to finish

An evening with a bit of everything, except contracts kept: 36 slips at the table and scores from 95 down to 61.

Mihai won the game with 95 points. In front from the last of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. And that despite a slip in the very last hand.

Second place went to Ana, with 89 points. Ana spent a good while in last place and climbed out of it. 11 good hands in a row — at one point, Ana was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Third, on the podium: Emi, up there with eyes on the top step. 3 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Emi didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Elena took last place without any nerves at all, on 61 points. In the second of the closing eights: Elena said 3, scooped 8, and Ana and Mihai were left counting the pieces. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Elena didn't — but insisted, with dignity.

Well played everyone — and especially Mihai!
