Ioana comes back from behind

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

Ioana takes the game with 120 points and goes home happy.

Vlad led for 25 hands but finished second, 10 points behind. At one stretch, 9 good hands in a row.

Mihai rounds out the podium with 101 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. Mihai was even in front after the seven-card hand on the way up.

Elena finished 4th with 99 points. After the seven-card hand on the way up, Elena was 2nd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

In 5th place, Radu, on 92 points. In the third of the middle eights, Radu bid 2 and took 5 — and Ana went down with it.

Ana closes out the table, with 91 points. "Last one buys the coffee" — as they say at the table. The place above was a single point away. 2 hands in a row: only Ana slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Ana.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
