David Eldar (AUS), who was the first to beat Nigel Richards (NZL) at this event, back in Round 13, but lost to him in Round 20, is back at Board 1 for the rubber match. This time, it's over in ten turns each, when David finally gets his first bingo down of the game (MOLdABLE for 72), which only sets up Nigel's fourth bingo, the outplay that catches David with ?CIJKOO on his rack.
