PUTTING OFF THE INEVITABLE
TEAMS.
DEALER NORTH, NONE VUL.
Sitting South, you pick up this 12-count:
♠ A7643
♥ A52
♦ A43
♣ 92
The auction:
| W | N | E | S |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1♦ | 1♥ | 1♠ | |
| Pass | 2♦ | Pass | 2♥ |
| Pass | 2♠ | Pass | 4♠ |
When North repeats his Diamonds (2♦), your Ace third is worth its weight in gold, which explains your cue-bid of 2♥. When North tells you that he has three Spades, you logically leap to 4♠.
As was predictable, West leads a Heart, more precisely the 10…
Contract: 4 Spades.
Lead: ♥10. East plays the Queen.
