Dealer W E/W Vul.
It is not often that
you make your first bid in a new suit at the seven level on a balanced
two count. Leslie Klein managed this on the above deal in the
Northern Bridge League in October. After West had opened a weak
two David Barton overcalled three diamonds and East asked for key
cards. David Barton was able to double the response of five clubs
to show a two suiter and East confidently bid the slam. Leslie
bravely bid seven clubs which went for 1100 gaining eight IMPs against
six spades making. Double dummy the defence can take 1400 by
forcing declarer at every opportunity. Note West's pass of seven
clubs which shows a first round control in clubs, allowing East to bid
the grand, for example with AKQxx of hearts and Kxx of clubs.
