Good afternoon folks
I am directing the intermediate B national final and I just strolled by one of the tables spotting a dealer opening with STOP 3 clubs ..
I had a quick look as I thought he held .. 7654.. 65.. 6 ..QT6543
His partner pondered his 15 count briefly and passed .. .3C was the contract and 3C made
I am now looking at the hand record ...he actually held
T752 ..4 .. 84 .. QT6532
and his partner gave him
KQ9
KQ72
AT962

...............
I have been frisky in the past myself but this 3C opening shocked me ..enough to write it up.
Just got called to a table where defenders complained that declarer was taking several minutes to make a play. Declarer involved has not been slow all weekend so I checked if he was awake and left him at it.
The man made 5C and scored up 100% ..

Hurray. Victory for Sabine. Albeit very close in the end. i.e. 1 imp down with 2 boards to play. Then a 12 imper and a 7 imper to win by 18. All the hard work practicing against Tinky on BBO pays off.
T752 ..4 .. 84 .. QT6532
My partner does this all the time, sometimes with just 5 of them.
