120 hands in play during the USBC. However, two matches were decided on the 120th hand, and one was decided on the 119th and 120th hands.
The final winner was one decided on the 120th hand.

What a difference 118 hands instead would have made...
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

-P.J. Painter.

Yes, the swedish legendar Jan Wohlin said once about winning tournaments:

The most important is to have the luck to be leading when someone comes and shouts: it was the last deal, so turn in the scoresheets please... :rolleyes:
Cats bring joy and a feeling of harmony and well-being into a home.
Many homeless cats seek a home.
Adopt one. Contact a cat shelter!
You too can be an everyday hero. :)
