SUBSC His partner had to have a good hand. North and South had been floundering around desperately and had finally
found some sort of a t in the diamond sult and he wanted to stop a possible cross ruf.
The lad sure stopped the cross ruft. Dummy's 1:10 covered the queen.
East won with the ace and continued with the Jack and deuce. South dropped a high diamond on the jock and won the third diamond lead with dummy's seven. His next play wns the king of hearts. East played the ace and South ruled.
This allowed him to make o trick
with dummy's queen of hearts. He also made the ace of clubs, the ace of spades and three trump tricks for a total of six. Not very good when his contract was for 11.
