TRUMPING ACES
South's contract of six hearts ap-| club was played to dummy and an- peared to be a "lead-pipe" cinch, un- other spade led. til suddenly it was found that East held all five trumps. However, De- clarer was a resourceful player and refused to give up, for he could still see the possibility of making the hand by means of a coup.

At this point. East hold nothing but trumps. He trumped with the six of hearts and South over-ruffed with the seven. Finally Declarer played the club Ace, which he trumped with dummy's Jack of hearts, and East over-trumped with the King. South's Queen and nine of hearts then won the last two tricks.
Declarer had made his contract by a neat coup which included trumping two of his own Aces.
