Phil Clayton is a regular listener. When he recently won the first ever Premier Pairs we decided to invite him to be a guest. Phil wrote this post on Bridgewinners describing his win with his regular partner Andrew Gumperz. The ACBL's ultimate masterpoint reward is Grand Life Master. Unfortunately for Phil, none of his major wins will qualify him for the distinction. Nonetheless, he says the Premier Pairs is his best result to date.
Phil recently moved to Dallas and seems to be greatly enjoying the bridge culture there. Here's a photo of him and Hall of Famer/ Episode 12 guest, Bart Bramley.
