How often do you win a finesse with a 5?


Recommended Posts

The highlight of a mostly forgettable session on BBO tonight was this hand:

 

Partner's hand

A Q 5 2

A K 9 4

9 7

A 10 9

 

My hand

K J 3

J 8 7 6 5

10 4 3

K 4

 

Playing in 4, the play started with A, K (RHO playing J, 2), then Q, ruffed with the 9, RHO playing 5. A club to the king was followed by a remarkable first-round of trumps: 5, 2, 4, 3.

 

It's not often that the first round of trumps contains the 2, 3, 4, and 5.

I can beat that.

 

Very thin but excellent slam, trump suit Q109762 opposite A854, 3 trumps missing, just need not to lose 2 tricks in trumps, led the 2-3-4-shows out.

Very cool!

 

(Although I still contend that my 5 beats your 4. ;))
