As there are over 635,000,000,000 bridge hands getting a 30 pointer is rare based on the lies, dammed lies and then statistics but it happened this weekend in Australia....Given the odds of this once in a life time hand are about 500,000-1

So how do you proceed ? 28 Pairs got to a Slam 6NT or 6♥ whilst 16 pairs missed out ranging from 5♣ to 7NT

The hand was even better than the unfortunate 29 point hand https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/10724713/Bridge-champion-collapsed-and-died-after-rare-winning-hand.html

So far all is well with the 44 players who sat South
