Gainesville Pair Wins Championship
The Kibitzer is Shirley Wright
Bourilkov and Pallas win North American Pairs (Flight C)
Jon Shuster, Gainesville
Shirley: I really enjoyed watching the Gainesville duo of Dimitri Bourilkov and Abe Pallas win the North American Pair Flight C national championship (President’s Cup) in Detroit, March 15 and 16, 2008. Sixty-two pairs, who qualified from the 25 ACBL Districts participated in this matchpoint event. Dimitri and Abe qualified at the state finals in Vero Beach, in October, 2007, as one of three Flight C pairs to represent Florida. After the first day (two sessions), they had solid games of 59% and 61%, and were in second place amongst the 28 pairs to move on to the finals two sessions, totaling 54 boards, two against each opponent. The third session was their best, with a remarkable 61.5%, putting them first overall with one session to go. As Dimitri puts it: “A couple of boards at the start of the final session were not good, and the opponents were coming to our table, telling us that they knew we were ahead, and played aggressively. So we knew we had to play hard! We couldn’t just “run out the clock” This is excellent advice when you are leading an event. In their final session, they scored a respectable 51.5% to win the event by seven matchpoints. Top on a board was 12. So the following hand from the final session proved to be crucial in their win.
Board 21.

All Pass
Absent a super acceptance of 4H, Abe bid aggressively, but had confidence in Dimitri.
East led the SJ. Dimitri won the J and played the H 4 – Q, K and A. West now cashed the HJ. Now if they play 3rd trump, Dimitri could ruff a C, cash the last trump, come back to a D, duck a C, and still have S and D stopped. The 5th C would be his 10th trick (2S, 2D, 3H, 3C). The defender actually returned the SQ. Now Dimitri cashed the 2 top C (pitching a S), ruffed a C low. With all his trump high, he cashed AK of D, ruffed a C, a D, and a S for 10 tricks. (2S, 2D, 2C, 3 trump, 1D ruff in the North hand).
District 9 players had other success stories in the event. Juan Castillo and Herbert Jordan finished a very strong fourth in Flight B, while Allan Stauber and Lewis Finkel came seventh in Flight A. Congratulations!
