MESTRE - Winning four table points when you have just 22 mini-points - that’s quite remarkable indeed. It happened to Anneke Keyl from the Netherlands in the first round of the OEMC2011.
It was throat-cutting, Anneke admits, but most of all very funny. She beams when she tells: “When the last game started, all four of us could still win that table. It was very, very close.”

From the beginning, the situation at this table changed. At first, Anneke shifted the number one position with Marleen Dewolf from Belgium.
Anneke: “But the difference was never more than 20, maybe 30 points between all of us. It was blood-curdling…
“Then this Japanese player started to make mahjong, again and again. Some self-picks also. And then the French player took over! All very small hands.
“It was me who won the last game. +22. Great, isn’t it?”
Again, she beams all over.

In the very last hand in Mestre, Rudy Kopmanis fed me a 16 point hand, thereby giving me the first place with only 12 mini-points. Rudy, who led the table before the last hand, ended up in fourth place with -9. Rudy was of course already waiting. I was catapulted 40 places in the final ranking, while Rudy lost a possible top-20 placing. Indeed a cut-throat game.
