It's the Longest Day game on Saturday, June 21, at the Bridge Centre of Niagara in St. Catharines, Ont. Board 12. The opponents are our old friends Chandi Jayawardena and Wybren "Weeb" Hoogland. We manage to drive Chandi, sitting West, up to 4 Diamonds, thanks to a Heart bid by my partner, Selina, which I boosted to the 3-level.
I have a flat and mediocre hand, three three-card suits topped by Jacks, but my Diamonds are sparkling: K-Q-J-10. I've got three tricks in Diamonds. Partner surely has one more somewhere for that bid of hers. I double. Hearts are led, but the Ace belongs to Weeb and it's a singleton.
We get nothing more than my three Diamonds. Plus 510 for the opponents. Bottom board for us. When I mention it to Saleh Fetouh, he shrugs. "It happens," he says.
