manudude03 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think this makes DD. Club to the ace and a heart down on which East rises up with the Ace. ♠K overtaken and ♦J fired through. Now EW get 3 diamonds, a spade and a heart before East gets stepping stoned. Switch the ♠K and A and it makes easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackenbush Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 You're right about what happens to club to the ace and heart back, but the actual declarer (a frequent forum poster) took a better line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Club to the ace and a spade although hackenbush spelled it out pretty clearly. Pretty, but shouldn't be too hard to find at the table. edit: The really pretty part of this hand is that east beats it by winning the HA at trick 1, a very counterintuitive play.
