The tension is mounting. This is a tournament in which most of the world's leading players participate and I am playing in the final. Although I have overcome my jet lag, I cannot sleep. Is it nervous stress?
Then board 4 is on the table, I am to play 3NT.

West cashes four club tricks. As he has passed as a dealer and has shown up with ten points, I successfully finesse both ♥V and ♦V over east.
Sadly the Swede on the other table copies this, so there is no profit on this board (tip: while playing, use the information from the bidding).

In the end we beat Sweden rather easily. Not in the least because of this nice little gadget.

East has nine tricks in hand and wants his side to play 3NT if his partner has a heart guard. A jump overcall in the opponent's suit asks specifically for a stopper in that suit and shows a long, solid minor suit.
The Swedes are not able to copy this and end up in 4♠, one down on a diamond lead.

The prize giving ceremony is fantastic. We receive a 70.000 dollar cheque. Unfortunately the mony goes to the Dutch Bridge Federation. But... people in Netherlands are not aware of this, judging the numerous phone calls I receive while still down under.

My sister calls: 'Sjoert, you're doing very well I see, can you spend some of the prize money on TimTams?' TimTams? They turn out to be the local cookie, very tasty with coffee, an absolute must for each European.

My girlfriend calls: 'Sjoert, please use some of the prize money on Uggs.' Uggs? A sort of boots, it appears, a must have for any woman (and even any baby).

A friend calls: 'Sjoert, please don't forget to buy me a carton of cigarettes on returning? After all it looks like you can afford it, hahahaha.'
