South dealt and open 1♥
, a much better choice than 2NT, with the 21 pts.
North replied 3♥,
and South then asked for aces by bidding 4NT. Finding one ace, South then
bid 7♥,
hoping there were not wasted values in the North hand
in the ♣ suit
The ♣K
was led can you make all 13 tricks ?
The trap is to ruff ♠4
in dummy. Instead win the opening lead and ruff ♣s
in declarers hand, three times, on the 2nd and 3rd ruffs ,then ruff with
K and A of ♥s,
getting to dummy with a ♥Q
and then ♥8. Having done that the remaining
trumps can be drawn and the contract made
