Bermuda Bowl: 4:50 am in Bs As, looking what match to watch by chance I entered to USA1-England and got surprised by the result, USA1 was in full recovery adding 76 IMPs vs the 13 IMPs added by England. Now the match that had started the day with USA 1 trailing England by 63 IMPs, was: USA 1 158 – England 160. In an instant I remembered an article that I read in 2018: NICKELL Wins USBC By Bridgewinners, saying: Team NICKELL held a 107-64 lead over LALL to start the final day of the USBC, and it extended its lead in the fifth segment. LALL stunned NICKELL with a 60-6 sixth segment and won the seventh 57-24 to lead by 31 with one segment to play. In classic NICKELL fashion, however, NICKELL staged a comeback, winning the final set 66-24. 

And they did it again!!!

USA 1 Ralph KATZ, Robert (Bobby) LEVIN, Jeff MECKSTROTH, Nick NICKELL, Eric RODWELL, Steve WEINSTEIN, Jill LEVIN captain, Eric O. KOKISH USA 1 won the last set and got his ticket to the semifinals. This si how the daily Bulletin explained the day:  At the start of play in the Bermuda Bowl quarter-finals on Tuesday, USA 1 was down to England by 63 IMPs with 48 boards to play. England had looked strong in taking the big lead, so prospects were not good for the Americans. When the quarter-final was over, USA 1 was celebrating a remarkable comeback after outscoring their opponents 140-44 to win 195-162. USA 1, the leading round robin qualifier, are now in the semifinals with a chance to capture another title. All members of the team have world championships to their credit. That was not the only excitement in the final day of quarter-final play. In the d’Orsi Senior Trophy, Denmark made it to the semi-final with a 1-IMP win over France. Denmark will play India, who advanced with a 3-IMP win over Chinese Taipei.
