December 2010 - 20
World Championships
the layout was becoming clear. He
played the K, ducked by East, and
discarded a diamond. He then ruffed a
club and ruffed a spade back to hand.
Another club was ruffed in dummy
and overruffed by West, who played
another diamond. Levin ruffed with
the 6 and was overruffed by East, but
on the spade return, Levin ruffed and
cashed the A. When the king fell, he
pulled East's last trump and claimed
with a good club. Plus 790 was good
for 68 out of 70 matchpoints.
By the start of the final session,
Levin and Weinstein were in the lead.
Despite a rocky start - the oppo‑
nents bid and made three grand slams
on them early in the session - they
maintained their lead throughout
the day and won by more than two
boards.
World Mixed Pairs
Donna Compton, npc of the Nick
Nickell team (current Bermuda Bowl
champs) and Fantoni came close to
winning the Mixed Pairs in Montreal
in 2002.
On the final day of play in 2010,
with two sessions to play, they were
in 27th place. They kept adding good
results, however, and finished in a
rush, averaging 74.95% over the final
four boards to edge fellow ACBL
members Kismet Fung (Canada) and
Brian Glubok for the title.
This deal, reported by Phillip Alder,
is from the second of three final
sessions. It was a good one for the
winners.

To hold declarer to eight tricks,
South must shift to a trump, but she
tried the A. Fantoni ruffed, then
cashed the A and played another
spade. North won the K but had to
concede a ruff‑sluff or lead away from
the K. Plus 140 was good for 83.5%,
compared to 62.7% for plus 110.
This was the final deal (reported by
Alder).
