International team trials in US was won by a team which had Larry Cohen & David Berkowitz.
This week's deal shows great bidding by this pair in the finals.
Berkowitz opened weak two
. Cohen forced with 2 NT over which Berkowitz's
3
showed
feature. Cohen asked for key cards in
s
by bidding 4
. Berkowitz's reply showed one key card. Cohen's 5 NT asked Berkowitz to pick a slam and
Berkowitz's reply of 6
showed 4 cards of
. Now Cohen was able to raise to 7
counting discards on
suit and the fact that Berkowitz would be able to ruff a trick in a side suit in which
he held a singleton.
EW on the other table just played in 6
resulting in a gain of 10 IMP for Cohen-Berkowitz.
