| Eastern Cape (Sunshine Coast) - Tuesday 17th February |
This interesting hand came up last Tuesday
South opened with a Multi 2♦ to have north declare in a contract of 5♥ doubled, after being pushed by some aggressive spade bidding by E/W
It’s easy enough to make 10 tricks so long as you ruff a diamond before drawing trumps.
After going 1 off if 5♥, South admonished his partner for pushing on to the 5 level when it was realised that, with razor-sharp defence, a reasonable penalty could have been extracted in a contract of 4♠ doubled.
When the makeables were published, it indicated that 5♥ is on with the right play.
Despite seeing all four hands, it’s hard to see how one goes about finding the 11th trick.
The ♠K was led
You hold up and take the ace on the second round and ruff a spade.
Next cash a top diamond followed by a club to the ace and ruff a club.
Play a diamond to the king and ruff another club, putting you in this position:
The ♣ 6 is led, forcing east to ruff, over-ruffed by south.
You play the ♦Q and ruff it with the ace to be in dummy at trick 12 for the coup de grâce when you lead another club making your ♥Q trick!
