A tug of war, won by Mihai

The lead changed hands 7 times — nobody got comfortable at the top.

Mihai took the game with 127 points and a 30-point cushion — never really in doubt. 17 good hands in a row — at one point, Mihai was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

PaulP led for 13 hands but finished second, 30 points behind. 2 hands in a row: only PaulP slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but PaulP.

Radu completed the podium with 80 points. One card, a single card, and Radu still got it wrong on the one-card hand. It happens even in the best houses.

Neither at the front nor at the back: Ana in 4th, with 73 points. The comfort zone. 2 hands in a row: only Ana slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Ana. After the two-card hand on the way up, Ana was 3rd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Elena took last place without any nerves at all, on 50 points. 16 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
