High Wire Act
I played the Mitchell Open BAM Teams with Michael Cassel, Steven Gaynor and Barry Purrington, friends from Minneapolis, Minnesota area.
How did we do you asked? There was a fouled board in our section, though no fault of our own we somehow lost 1/2 a board. So we qualified for the Compact KO the next day.
Playing the KO. Mike Cassel and I had nice auction to win a game swing.
Board 23. Dealer South. Both vulnerable.
Mike was North and I was South.
The auction.
The deal.
The key to the deal was Cassel’s decision not to try 3NT, instead to show the useful Jack of Diamonds. I lost the two major suit Aces, Made 11 tricks for +600.
At the other table our opponents played 3NT by North, on a low Spade lead was quickly down two -200.
We won 13 imps.
Barry Purrington, Steven Gaynor, Michael Cassel and Yuen.
In the Mixed Pairs Final, MC gave new meaning to intentionally dumping when she slept past game time, left her partner without a game.

We accomplished one more item on the ‘impossible’ list – in a B-A-M event, went plus at both tables but still lost the board!
I enjoyed it all anyway! Keep up the good blog work.
Thanks guys. It was lots of fun playing with you. Lets do it again soon.
