The winning call is double.

In the final of the Bermuda Bowl, three boards
from the end, Paul Soloway, East, chose to pass
5, leaving the decision to partner, Bob Hamman.
This turned out badly when Hamman bid 6,
doubled, down two.

Soloway commented afterward I guess I should
have doubled 5
. That's in retrospect. At the time
I thought my best action was to pass the decision
to Bob. I thought chances were good that we had
only one loser in diamonds.

The Americans won the match by one imp!
