On the other hand the vulnerable opponents were pushed to the three level with only 8 trumps between them. It must be right to double in pairs to pretect himself against the field. So he doubled three spades. But this contract was unbeatable, and Akin Koclar actually made an overtrick when he was allowed to score two heart ruffs in dummy.

At the last table I watched (I should remind the readers that it is a difficult task to watch three different tables in a barometer event where the same boards are played simultaneously at all tables), the unbelievable happened:

Massimiliano di Franco (Italy) West North East South 1♠ 1NT 2♠ 3♦ Pass Pass Dble Pass Pass 3♥ Pass Pass Dble Pass Pass Pass

South, Massimiliano Di Franco (Italy), no doubt Frank Lin (USA) intended his 3♦ as transfer to hearts, but his partner Gabriele Zanasi was different opinion, so he passed. Now all that East, Ellena Moskovsky (Australia), had to do was to pass and collect nine tricks in defense. But she doubled three diamonds! Zanasi figured out what was happening around the table and he ran to three hearts. West, Lauren Travis, doubled this. Zanasi escaped for down one, but that was still worth 9 matchpoints out of 14 for East-West. (Plus 250 Gabriele Zanasi (Italy) would have given East-West 13 mps.)
