Neither side were vulnerable. South, West and North passed and East opened fourth hand with one spade. South passed and Went overcalled with two hearts. East then jumped the contract to three No Trump.
V The play. North did not have much to do with the bidding. His partner in the South opened with the queen of spades whleh East won with the ace. East then led a small club. winning in dummy with the queen. His next play was the queen of diamonds from dummy, and when North refused to cover, East drop- ped the Jack. Declarer then led- the 10 of diamonds from dummy. North played the seven and de- clarer played the eight. The four of diamonds was led from dummy, North played the king and East. the declarer, won the trick with the ace.
The declarer's next play was the six of hearts, the 10 being finessed from dummy. It looked quite natural for North to win the trick with the jack, but here is where he pulled off his false card play he won the trick with tho king and then returned the fou
East won with of spades which the king. The declarer led the aco of clubs, South's jack falling on the trick and a small heart was discarded from dummy. He then led the deuce of hearts, and due to the false-carding by winning the trick with the king, the de- elarer thought that South held the jack and now finessed the nine of: hearts which North won with the jack and returned the seven of clubs. Declarer finessed the ninn spot and then cashed his king of clubs, but he was now forced to lose the last two snade tricks.
The declarer should not have been deceived by the false-carding because if South had held four hearts to the inek and only four spades he would have undoubtedly ovened the hearts rather than the four-card spade suit as the spades had been bld hy East. Knowing that South dock not hold four hearts, the declarer could get u on the hand and perfect count should po up with the queen of haarte knowing that they will break. In this manner he would have made a small slam.
