North doubled again.PENALTYSouth was sure his side could make 3NT for plus 600 or more. At IMPs, he would have passed; he could expect a sizable plus on defense. If he was plus 500, he might lose a little; but the penalty might be bigger, and if 3NT happened to fail or wasn’t bid in the replay, he would gain heavily.But at matchpoints, South had to consider bidding: If he was plus only 500 on defense, he might get a “bottom.” The winning action was … to pass.
