- Thanks Mike. Was not surprised to see the two 0-2500 finalists; we went 1-1-1 against them in the round before the quarterfinals, -10 IMPs overall for the loss. The losing finalists are a pretty neat story, it's four high school kids and their teacher/coach from China... their teacher ...
- Donations Needed

- So I belted out 7♦, hoping this was a 5-or-7 hand; after all, surely partner has the ♦A, and we're likely making 7♦ if I can talk them out of a spade lead. I was half-right about the 5-or-7 when partner turned up with ♠K74 ♥7 ♦K9853 ...
