Jennbridge: Great Plays

We kibitz the Vanderbilt in order to "be there" when great plays take place. Did you see this hand last night?

6 ♠ by North

North-South reached a seemingly cold slam and Bob Hamman led the ace of hearts. Zia found an ingenious way to defeat it!

--------------------------

He threw the heart king under the ace, looking for all the world like he started with a singleton heart. Now when Hamman continued hearts, the declarer, not unreasonably, ruffed with the ace, promoting Zia's jack!

See you at the table!
