A
deal from an online EBU pairs event.
After
a simple two over one auction to three notrump West
led the four of spades.
South
won with the eight in dummy and played a second
spade to the ace followed by the eight of
hearts. When this held the trick declarer
cashed the other top spade, crossed to dummy with
the ace of clubs and took the other spade and two
top hearts. East had discarded a club and a
diamond. Declarer now played the queen of
diamonds to establish his tenth trick, which West
won with the ace.
The
position was now as below
When
West took her queen of hearts East was squeezed in
the minors, whichever suit he discarded, South could
discard from the other suit. Making eleven
tricks scored over eighty percent.
This
is known as a suicide squeeze.
