In the above position against Sam Korman in Melbourne Australia in 1983, while on my honeymoon, I was on roll and entered with only one man and escaped the gammon. How, by dancing until he had two on the duece and four on the ace where he rolled a 5-1, leaving five on the ace. I rolled 1-1 and he rolled a double and I rolled an ace to hit and proceeded to get of the gammon. Oh, and just for the record, managed to get in a redouble and win the game. I have never had a game to top this one for luck.
