In a classic ending, the leaders met in the last round. After Heve had helped their friends by defeating Harob in Round 8 to allow Jerik to take the lead, Harob went back ahead on Board 17 when the limp club suit of 8542 opposite K73 produced two tricks for Bob in 3NT. Harob and Jerik both finished 7-1-1; Heve 7-2.

The most instructive hand was presumably Board 13, on which we saw why not to bid 4NT as the stronger hand with a suit containing two top losers. Board 14 had the real slam but nobody was able to bid it - thirteen tricks were close but there was always a trump promotion. Board 11 also had a slam, but declarer needed precise timing to make it.
