The 4♠ bid by South was a
sheer gamble! the ♥K
probably onside and only two
aces missing, the risk is
acceptable. As South has
clearly shown longer diamonds
than spades, north should
have given preference back to
5♦.
The lead is the ♦7 to East’s ♦A.
East shifts to ♣K and South
ruffs.
In 4♠, it does not help to cross
to the ♦9 (even if it is not
ruffed) to lead a trump, since
South is bound to lose two
trump tricks anyway if South is
to make this contract, he needs
the spades 3-3. therefore,
South should proceed on that
basis. After ruffing the ♣K at
trick two South should play the
♠K. if East ducks, he should
continue with the ♠Q and third
spade. if trumps are 3-3, South
can cross to ♦9 and take the
heart finesse. on the actual
deal South succeeds.
On their wedding night a
couple arrives at their hotel
room and the phone rings. the
husband answers and talks
with his friend about a bridge
hand.
The conversation
continues for hours as the
friend tells how he went down
in six spades.
When it finally ends, the
distraught wife is in tears and
says, “How can he be so
inconsiderate? that was
terrible!”
“You are right, honey. All he
had to do was take a finesse.”
