The Unlucky Expert!
I like to share an interesting deal with you, before I leave these Championships on a Jet plane.
Once in a while you play a hand well but is all for naught.
Trasnational Teams. RR 11. Board 11. Dealer South. None Vul.
As South you held ♠ KJ108 ♥ K972 ♦ 8 ♣ A1043
| West | North | East | South |
| 1♣ | |||
| Pass | 1♦ * | 1♥ | 1♠ |
| Pass | 2♥ | Pass | 2NT |
| Pass | 6NT | All Pass |
1♦ -very slow bid.
I give you North-South hands and see how you would play 6NT.
The lead was ♥ 5
| North
♠ Q72 ♥ AQ8 ♦ AQJ5 ♣ KQ6 |
 |
| South
♠ KJ108 ♥ K972 ♦ 8 ♣ A1043 |
Here is how P. Wijen of The Netherlands played it.

Wijen played for the squeeze. Reason that East-rated to hold long hearts and the diamond king.
I said “Well played and you have my sympathy.”
