A tug of war, won by Victor

The lead passed from hand to hand, 6 times over — it was anyone's guess.

Victor Mihail won with 102 points, by a whisker: just 3 points ahead. At one stretch, 9 good hands in a row. And that despite a slip in the very last hand.

Cristian Imparat finished second, just 3 points short of the win. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Cristian said and... hoped. It didn't hold. Cristian was even in front after the five-card hand on the way down.

Third, and on the podium: Elena, with 87 points. 3 hands in a row: the table said and did, Elena said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Ana took last place without any nerves at all, on 67 points. The table was Ana's after the seven-card hand on the way down; the second half had other ideas. 3 hands in a row: Ana broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
