THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES
TEAMS.
DEALER WEST – E/W VUL.
Here is your hand as West:
♠ 8
♥ AQ104
♦ 875
♣ AKQ87
You open 1♣ and the auction goes into overdrive:
| W | N | E | S |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1♣ | Dble | Pass | 1♠ |
| Dble | 4♠ |
Your singleton Spade and 15HCP were enough to inspire a take-out Double at your second turn, but North abruptly ended the sequence. Expecting to discover a dummy with high potential, you lead the Ace of Clubs and are not disappointed:
Contract: 4 Spades by South.
Lead: Ace of Clubs (the 4 from East, the 9 from South).
