A
deal from an online duplicate (IMPs).
Dealer E Game All.
You
reach six diamonds on the above auction, West
leading a small heart.
You
draw trumps in three rounds, West having a singleton
who discards spades, then play hearts which break
3-3.
How
do you play now?
Solution West's shape is presumably 7312. You will need East to have the club king to make this, but the position of the jack of clubs is irrelevant provided West has the spade ace. Throw
your small spade on the last heart, finesse the
club queen and then cash the ace. Now exit
with the spade king and West will have to give you
a ruff and discard.
