Elianna Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I was directing last night, and south held KJxxx xx AJx Jxx. Her partner opened 1D, she bid 1S, and her partner rebid 2C. Here's where the fun comes in: South bid 2S. After a 3d bid by her partner, she came up with the genius 3NT call. I was thinking that this would get slaughtered, and sure enough, after the expected small heart lead, dummy came down with -- Ax KTxxxx KQxxx. So the full hands were:[hv=d=n&v=n&n=shaxdktxxxxckqxxx&s=skjxxxhxxdajxcjxx]133|200|Scoring: MP[/hv] She ducked trick one, then won trick two with the A. Almost immediately, she took the diamond finesse towards the J, which held. Running the diamonds (which were E-3, W-1, btw) East manages to pitch his third AND LAST heart, while south for some reason holds onto an extra spade, and so their hands are:[hv=e=saxhdcaxx&s=skjxhdcjx]266|200|Remember, North has KQxxx of clubs.[/hv] Declarer plays a club off the board, East wins the A! Then cashes the A of spades, and the hand is over, score up 630. I know why I lose at bridge, I would never have managed to get that score! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 My local will have similar (not that blatant) hands each week let me guess, if you stayed there after the board you could hear when they scored: -Why didn't everyone play 3NT? -Why didn't everyone make 10 tricks?
