Now he led the ten of diamonds, with no intention of taking the Dnesse. He wanted to conx the ace of diamonds cut of the South hand. He felt sure it was there, to justify South's vulnerable bid of one heart,
North obligingly put on the Jack of diamonds, Leventritt played the queen from dummy, and South made the mistake of winning the trick with the nee. If he had not done 50, Leventritt sald, they could have do- feated the contract. But now all South, could do, was lead another amall heart, which North won with the jack.
However, South's entry was gone. North returned a club, Leventritt won with the jack in his own hand and led the ace and a small opade. Thus he was able to make five club tricks, a diamond; a heart and two. apades--nine tricks in all.
