And now we reach the finals and lo & behold?! we have only one Italian pair left 'Fantunes" on the Meltzer squad with 5 American pairs to play for the Spingold title on Saturday:
Rose Meltzer, Los Gatos CA; Kyle Larsen, San Francisco CA; Alan Sontag, Gaithersburg MD; David Berkowitz, Boca Raton FL; Fulvio Fantoni, Rome Italy; Claudio Nunes, Roma Italy
vs
John Diamond, Boca Raton FL; Brad Moss, San Anselmo CA; Fred Gitelman - Geoff Hampson, Las Vegas NV; Eric Greco, Philadelphia PA; Brian Platnick, Evanston IL
am still in awe of Sontag- Berkowitz reaching, and making, 3N on board 64 of the quarterfinal, spurning the 9 card spade fit.
4S had 4 losers at the other table.
