The defence on this hand actually started
during the auction: David price made
sure
that when his partner got in he'd know
what
to do. Four Hearts by North was played
at
other tables and went off when East
led a
Club and switched to a Diamond. The
only
time Four hearts by North went off
was here,
when Price underlead his Ace of Clubs,
and,
given the auction, Burn was in no doubt
as
to what to do. It all seems obvious after the event, but how many would a) find the Three Diamond bid and b) Underlead CA in practic |
e?
