RMB1 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was awake in the early morning watching bridge from Orlando, and listening to the cricket from Australia, when I there to witness this: http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?linurl=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/vugraph_linfetch.php?id=16128, board 55 in the closed room.

Flameous Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hahah, that should be named Hamman Coup. Though I guess Hamman was as surprised winning the trick as others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W Kovacs Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I've had the five of trumps finessed on me, too. The five was led from the table, and I had the K3 (the A was not in dummy). I thought "surely partner can cover the five, so I played low. Declarer added the four, and partner played his stiff deuce. A second trump dropped my king. Needless to say, it was a poor board for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, it was a poor board for us.Can beat that, have successfully finessed the 4 on the first round of trumps, and it was technically the right play. In a very thin 6♣, trump suit Q1072 opposite A98654. Only problem was 2 trump losers, 2, 3, 4, discards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 A team mate of mine once played 3NT after LHO opened 1♥ showing 5+.He had eight top tricks and seemingly no way to a ninth.He had a 7-card heart suit concealed in hand and at trick two lead the duce to the trey from LHO and the singleton four in dummy winning the trick and the contract. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Technically the right play? Are you sure running the Q is not better? Running the Q doesn't look so hot when RHO shows out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you mean LHO but I see my mistake now, there are actually only 13 clubs in the deck, not 14... so nevermind :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
