Lord Molyb Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 [hv=pc=n&s=sk76haj95dt8ca863&w=sajt5h8dkqj7542ck&n=s982hqt76da9ct975&e=sq43hk432d63cqj42]399|300[/hv]Every west player was in 3♦. Nobody in the club is particularly an expert or a beginner. At my table, a heart was led to the king and ace, and a heart was returned, which I ruffed. I led a high diamond and, upon winning the ace, north led a spade, letting me take the finesse for an overtrick. This was a bottom board. Everyone else made 11 tricks in a diamond contract, but how can this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 There's a few ways, the most likely of them being a heart lead and after ducking from dummy, South popped the ace and returned another allowing you to throw the club away while also getting an entry to the table to finesse the spades. Alternative ways include a club lead and south not expecting stiff king ducks, and initial spade lead to the Q-K-A and king of clubs ducked trying to prevent table getting in/setting up discards.

EricK Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Probably a ♣ to the ace followed by a ♠switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
