The Longest Day

Brighton 2011 – Day 2

If your working days starts with posting assignments at 10am, it is perhaps a mistake to play Speed-ball Swiss Teams if it going to finish at 2:30am the following morning.

A low point of the speed-ball was holding a near Yarborough with ♣8xxxx. The opponents declared 7♣ and despite having all the higher clubs declarer could not do everything, lost control and was down 4. That was 7IMPs out when team mate with their big hand had doubled for take-out on 6-6-1-0 and played there for -470.
