If Sontag had found that cool line to land 3Sx at that juncture, we know who would be the hero of the night and talk of the town.
Whoever said "flame is so fleeting" was maybe right on!
Meanwhile, well-deserved congrats to hero Brad and the entire team!

That 3D-1 is pretty sick
What he said.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Poor Sontag he had ran a beautiful criss cross squeeze earlier and then missed this
He also missed simple (?) throw in before in the final as well as 100% line in the semis in game which Helgemo made.
Seems like he wasn't in the best shape this tournament or maybe bridge is just that hard...

Congrats to team Diamond, and especially to Fred, whose brainchild, BBO, enabled me to follow the event.
After Bd 62, there was a short break and commentator Larry Cohen made the following weirdly prophetic remark:
At this point, foolishly believing his 'tame' characterization, my attention strayed and when I returned, Sonty had just gone -800. The commentators were aghast.

[Boards] 63 and 64 look rather tame -- but I know the MELTZER team will wince, thinking I am cursing them.

whats that saying its not over till its over...by Yogi Berra
I will always remember looking at the opening diamond lead checking Gib and seeing that at most is would be -200 to -110 at other table. Havig already kibbed board 63 and 64 from the other table and thinking there was no way for there to be enough imps for a comeback
waking up next morning turning on the ipad and going to acbl site to check bullettins glancing at picture of Spingold winners and then it dawning on me that the picture was of the losers, so I thought.
