This
deal
is from the Eastbourne pre-tournament pairs.
Raymond
Semp (West) led the singleton club, won in
dummy. Declarer now played a trump which John
Holland won with the ace.
John
now found the fine play of the ten of spades,
covered with the king and won by Raymond with the
ace.
Raymond
now underlead his spade honours to give John the
lead with the nine of spades and John was able to
give Raymond a club ruff, the ace of diamonds now
beat the contract by one. This neat
cooperative defence earned John and Raymond a good
score.
Only
one pair found the making contract of four spades by
East-West but they managed to go off.
Thanks
to Raymond Semp for reporting this deal
