Another
deal is from an online matchpoint duplicate.
Partner
dutifully leads the four of hearts against three
notrump, you win with the king, declarer following
with the six. You hopefully switch to the four
of diamonds which goes to the two, nine and
king. Declarer leads the remaining heart from
dummy and you win with the ace declarer playing the
eight and partner the two.
What
do you do now?
Scroll
down for analysis
Declarer
clearly was trap passing two hearts in the hope of a
take out double from North, he also seems to have
the diamond ace. Perhaps you can cut him off
from his red suit tricks by exiting with the jack of
clubs. The layout you hope for is something
like below, where you should come eventually to five
tricks.
Unfortunately
declarer actually held
107 in clubs, so you could not stop him getting back
to his hand.
