When
opponents reached four hearts after a simple
auction South felt that he had a solid double.
South
led the club king, declarer won and then took a
club discard on the diamonds and played a heart
and was quickly one off.
However,
if declarer had considered that South was likely
to hold all the missing trumps for the double he
could have made the contract.
After
the diamonds he should ruff a club to shorten his
trumps, then play a spade. South wins and
returns a Spade, declarer then ruffs another club.
This
is the position now, East leads a low heart, South
can get off play with a spade ruffed by East, who
now ducks another heart to endplay South in trumps.
Well
done to the two declarers who made four hearts
doubled.
Slight
variations in the order of play are possible.
