They played at the Bridge at Ginger Creek club in Champaign. Results and links to hand records and analyses are here. And you thought computer hands were wild?How about this people-dealt hand from the Monday, July 5 game at Bridge at Ginger Creek in Champaign? West was dealt ♠AKQJxx ♥AKQ10xxx ♦Void ♣Void. At most tables, this hand opened 2C or 7H. At others, RHO opened 1D. Partner had was 6-6 in the minors with one small spade and no hearts (of course!). In practice, 7S is probably the better contract if you don't get a trump lead (you can ruff a heart with dummy's singleton spade), but the splits were friendly in both suits, so 7H or 7S makes. Still, only five of the nine tables bid and made a grand slam. Among the six different results for East-West were a minus 100 and a plus 510 (4 of a major making 7). The top score (+1770) went to the two pairs who managed to get doubled in the grand slam. The table results are here (Board 27): http://www.alchmist.net/gcbc/results/E07052010.txt Movin' Up: Congratulations to these Unit members who recently advanced in rank:
