In
above deal, South competed with 2♠ and
North came through with an excellent 4♠
bid. North bid on the assumption that he
had shown nothing when, in fact, he had two valuable cards.
West led the ♥K and ♥A. South ruffed and started after trumps. West took the second round, Had he continued
hearts, South would have had the rest, barring the club loser but West switched
to a club. North took his ♣A and tried to come to his hand with a diamond. Bad
luck. West ruffed it and East’s ♣K became
the setting trick.
On the bidding, there is a distinct danger that
West has no diamonds. East did bid them in response to the double. South can also more or less count on West’s
having the ♠A. South should have discarded a club on the
second heart. In this way, South could
later ruff a club to his hand, keeping East off lead.
It is true that if East has the ♠A and only four diamonds, and West holds more than
one trump, South would have found a way to go down on a cold hand (West would
lead his diamond at trick three and get a ruff when East takes his ♠A), but that is an odds against scenario. The one that did occur is more likely.
