Carmen comes back from behind

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

Carmen won by a whisker, with just 2 points — at whist even one point is as good as a mile. Carmen only went in front at the very last hand. 2 hands in a row: Carmen broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Radu finished second, just 2 points short of the win. Radu was ahead of Carmen right up to the last hand. Radu was even in front after the seven-card hand on the way down.

Gigel completed the podium with 119 points. Gigel was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

MnZ finished 4th with 113 points. One card, a single card, and MnZ still got it wrong on the one-card hand. It happens even in the best houses.

Cretu finished 5th with 103 points. After the two-card hand on the way up, Cretu was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans. The five-card hand on the way down: 2 kisses rained down on Cretu 💋 — the darling of the table.

Mihai took last place without any nerves at all, on 84 points. 13 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
