Day 3 continued

Game 58 - Remix gets set 3 times in a row, with only the 4 of a blind nil succeeding to leave them down 310 points. A couple of blind 7s later things were a little better for the Remix, only down 180 tricks. Then came hand 7. Moshdawgs go 7, Remix go Nil 4 with Fung nilling. As the game is going along, Zak realises he has a good chance of larrying. He tries to give the moshdawgs one trick, but to no avail, he gets 8 and larrys. His only chance was to have his partner bust his nil, but the point total would have been the same, the only advantage being one less overbook if the nil busted. A blind 7 for the Remix failed on the next hand, then they made a blind nil on the next hand, leaving them behind 150 with the moshdawgs at 419. Moshdawgs went nil 5 to win after the Remix bid blind 7. Bad strategy by Fungster led to the moshdawgs getting their nil 5 exactly and the win. Moshdawgs win 519-406, 4-6 for the session, 31-27 overall

Game 59 - high bidding hands led to an early lead for the Moshdawgs. In hand 4, Adam larrys while protecting a nil by Andrew - he went 4 and got 10. Zak constantly refused to blind in this game, and the Remix end up down 300 with the Moshdawgs at 476. The Remix went blind 10, and MADE IT! Remix wins, 574 to 436, 7-3 for the session, 28-31 for the series. Second successful blind 10 made in the series, both by the Remix.
