Of course six hearts is a better
contract. But declarer had to
bear the burden of his clumsy
bidding. So he won the ace of
diamonds and forced out the ace
of hearts. Then he took the
diamond king and ran all the
hearts. His last four cards were
the A K of clubs and the A Q ol
spades. As you might imagine.
West kept the K-6 of spades and
the high diamond, so declarer
had to lose another trick. Could
something have been done
about it? Watch closely.
Let declarer win the ace of
diamonds and cash the ace of
clubs. West will win the ace of
hearts and continue diamonds.
Declarer takes the king and runs
the heart suit. Along the way he
makes the unusual play of dis
carding his winning king of
clubs. At the finish the last three
