A tug of war, won by Ana

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

First place and peace of mind: Ana, with 86 points.

Runner-up sounds good — gold sounded better. Ionela, with 79 points. In the third of the opening eights, Ionela bid 3 and took 6 — and Luis went down with it. 8 good hands in a row — at one point, Ionela was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Mihai rounds out the podium with 52 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. Mihai was even in front after the five-card hand on the way down.

Luis took last place without any nerves at all, on 25 points. 17 broken contracts, collected like stamps.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
