Four Highland Bridge Club players deal perfect suit
Four women at Highland Bridge Club in Highland Illinois each received a full suit in a single deal. Mrs Richard Hammel held spades and won a seven spade bid, Floyd Tschennen held hearts, Mrs Roland Tschudy diamonds, and Mrs Roscoe Menz clubs. An engineering graduate estimated the odds at 600 million to one and noted the rarity would recur after 102 trillion years if all humans were dealt 120 hands daily.
