| John O'Meara carded three nines of 26 and one of 25 in a consistent outing. |
| The declarer bids 5, announces four nines, and takes 93 card points without taking the stock. |
| It was all conducted in a terrific party atmosphere with the crowd dressed up to the nines. |
| The bank is rated at nines times earnings when some years back it was up to 15 times. |
| If no one has all the nines, a new hand of 7 cards each is dealt from the remaining undealt part of the pack. |
| Some play that a prial of threes or a prial of sevens, rather than nines, is highest. |
