With a long minor not headed by the ace or king, and no outside entry, Gold starts off with a 4C opening. This gets EW trapped at the four level with no good fit and they go -500. In the other room, Lauria starts with 3C (his other options include 3NT as a minor preempt, and 4C as a natural preempt), and Malinowski-Sandqvist arrange to land in 3NT for +400 and 14 IMPs to England, closing the gap.
