Cup of Flanders

Yesterday me and my team played a great tournament. Swiss movement, playing at table 1 and 2 the entire afternoon, but lost our final match 25-5 and finished 8th. One can say the afternoon was 1 round too long... Anyway, we had a great time and played solid bridge against good players all day long.

Here's one of the more spectacular hands:
♠ KJ
♥ Axx
♦ AKQxxxx
♣ x

♠ Axxxx
♥ -
♦ T9x
♣ Axxxx

Playing MOSCITO, my partner started the auction:
1♣! - Dbl! - 1♥! - 2♥!
3♦ - pass - 3♥ - pass
3♠ - pass - 4♦ - pass
4NT - pass - 5NT! - pass
7♦ - all pass

1♣ showed 15+HCP any hand
Dbl showed either ♦s or both Majors
1♥ showed GF with 4+♠
2♥ was P/C
5NT shows an even number of keycards and a useful void

Nothing really spectacular imo, but somehow I didn't hear anyone else say they found grand on this hand. I think they got heavier competition in ♥ than we did, a result of the opponents' defense against a strong ♣. If they would've been able to show both Majors without the possibility of a ♦ suit, we probably would've started with finding our fit at the 5-level... We got lucky here.
Suction has it's disadvantages, especially if your partner doesn't have a fit for the possible 1-suiter.

Another one, we got lucky here:
♠ xx
♥ Ax
♦ QJxx
♣ KJTxx

♠ Jx
♥ KQxxx
♦ Ax
♣ Q9xx

Funny auction, the board contained 50hcp:
1♠! - 2♠ - Dbl - 3♦!
pass - 3♠ - Dbl - pass
4♣ - pass - 4♥ - pass
pass - pass

1♠ shows 9-15HCP, 4+♦, can have longer ♣, unbalanced.
3♦ was invite+ with a ♠ fit.
Both doubles were takeout.

LHO started with ♣8 (from a doubleton) and the defense was over since ♥ were 3-3 and ♣ were 2-2. If he leads the normal ♠, I would've gone off since a ♦ switch through my Ace is deadly if ♣A is still in play.
