Ana takes it in the closing rounds

4 players, 24 hands, one winner. Here is how it went.

Ana won the game with 97 points. 2 hands in a row: only Ana slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Ana. 7 good hands in a row — at one point, Ana was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards.

Second place for Kiki, with 90 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. The last hand decided it: Kiki went past Elena right on the line. Kiki spent a long time on the red lantern and came out clean — determined not to buy the round.

Third, on the podium: Elena, up there with eyes on the top step. Elena was ahead of Kiki right up to the last hand. Elena was even in front after the six-card hand on the way up.

Mihai took last place without any nerves at all, on 71 points. In the last of the closing eights: Mihai called 2, took 7, and Elena was left out in the cold. 2 hands in a row: Mihai broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Congratulations to all — see you at the next table!
