Choice of Poisons




This interesting and amusing deal was played by our popular director, Daxindas! mostly he is addressed as ‘Daxin’. He always explains the ruling in his Marathi English — always very helpful and hard working. 

West, whose finely waved hair was smarmed down with coconut oil, led the 8. Daxin captured queen with the A and played off all the clubs discarding three spades from his hand. East made a loud and clear discards of J109 announcing the presence of K. His fourth discard was 9. While West was reluctant to discard any card, choice of poison, and finally discarded the A. I guess he was trying to unblock, but his reasons are unknown. Two hearts and a spade. 

Now Daxin played the ♦4 from the dummy and east hopped up with the K and quickly played the 5. West was happy to cash his three heart winners and exited with the ♠K. Daxin grabbed it with the ♠A and played the 3 to his winner Q out of the blue! And to east-West’s horror. West edged his chair and looked at Daxin with new-found respect. Daxin’s eyes shone with strange light as he did full justice to the slippery defense. 

Fortune favours the bold and the brave ones!
