Alice takes the table

The cards went out, and so did the egos. Here is what came of it.

Alice won the game with 132 points.

Cretu took the runner-up spot with 124 points. Cretu was even in front after the third of the closing eights. At one stretch, 10 good hands in a row.

Petru completed the podium with 105 points. In the first of the middle eights, Petru bid 2 and took 6 — and Daniela and crista went down with them. 2 hands in a row: only Petru slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Petru.

Neither at the front nor at the back: crista in 4th, with 92 points. The comfort zone. In the last of the middle eights: crista called 4, took 7, and Alice and Petru were left out in the cold.

Daniela closed the table from the back, on 79 points — there is always a next game. 2 hands in a row: Daniela broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
