Last weekend marked the end of the bridge festival in Vilnius. The main event was the two-day team tournament, part of the GPPT and WBT series. It concluded with the victory of the Bridge for Business team, consisting of Stanisław Gołębiowski – Piotr Gawryś, Wojciech Strzemecki – Przemysław Janiszewski.
