The lead kept changing — Adrian came out on top

The lead changed hands 6 times — nobody got comfortable at the top.

Last, but with style: Raluca, with 87 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. Raluca said they'd take nothing in the first of the middle eights... and took some. Whist listens, then does the opposite. The third of the closing eights: 2 kisses rained down on Raluca 💋 — the darling of the table.

Neither at the front nor at the back: HelenC in 5th, with 89 points. The comfort zone. In the third of the opening eights: HelenC called 2, took 6, and Adrian Gh was left out in the cold.

crista finishes right in the middle — neither hot nor cold — 4th, with 102 points. crista was even in front after the second of the middle eights. Before the last eights, only 9 points off the podium — the pace just didn't hold.

Claudiu completed the podium with 113 points. In the second of the middle eights: Claudiu called 2, took 5, and Adrian Gh was left out in the cold. In the fifth of the closing eights the table couldn't make up its mind about Claudiu: 1 chair and 1 kiss flew in within seconds 🪑💋.

Runner-up sounds good — gold sounded better. Roua, with 122 points. Roua was even in front after the last of the middle eights. 11 good hands in a row — at one point, Roua was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards. Roua cried laughing 11 times 😂 — a fun evening, at least on one side of the table.

Adrian Gh gathered 131 points and the hearts of the crowd. Bravo! And that despite a slip in the very last hand.

Well played everyone — and especially Adrian Gh!
