NickellColossal drama in the wins ! The by Nick Nickell1 team, leading by 2 IMPs with two boards to go, made four hearts on 63. In the other room, the de- fense got off to the best and beat four hearts -- 10 IMPs to Nickell, now up 12. On the last board, BAZE made four spades -- a most difficult contract. But BAZE had to double in the other room and beat the contract two tricks to win. They beat the contract two, but didn’t double, so the 11 IMPs they won fell 1 IMP short. Another single-IMP victory, NICKELL 112, BAZE 111. That’s five wins in the past six years for Nickell, Dick Freeman, Eric Rodwell, and . Paul Soloway was the sixth this time, but Bobby Wolff was on the other four championship teams. And BAZE just missed winning a second straight Spingold winners hold the Nate Spingold Trophy on high as they celebrate their victory.

It is also the first NABC title for Jim who hasn’t played tournament bridge in more than six years. “Many of Jim’s Chicago-area friends were ex- cited to see him playing again,” said David. “His time off from bridge hasn’t hurt his game a bit. He and Cheri played great.” Cheri Bjerkan has nine previous NABC titles. Like Lisa, she also has a previous Venice Cup victory. continued on page 4 The champions!
