A
curiosity from the President's Cup first round.
South
arrived in six spades on the above auction.
Five spades was an interesting bid, rather
overvaluing the hand, but it worked out.
West
lead the diamond king, overtaken by East and ruffed
by declarer. South now played a spade to the
king, then a club to the ace, then ran the jack of
hearts to East's king who won and returned a second
spade. The ace and queen of hearts were cashed
followed by a heart ruff and the ace of clubs.
South now claimed on a cross ruff the position being
as below.
Note
the East hand - all tens.
