The Rueful Rabbit — Down the rabbit hole…

Nice Hand

Sorry that I have not been round in a while. Here is a hand from a recent club competition that I liked.

Dlr: S
Vul: E/W

The Bidding was:
N – E – S – W
1C – (1S) -1NT – (P)
3NT All Pass

Qh Lead.

I won and lead the TD which lost to the Q and the HJ came back. I won and played 2 rounds of spades neither covered. East discarded a D4 on the 2nd spade. Finessed the diamond and cashed the 2 diamond winners. On cashing the SA, West looked uncomfortable and discarded a club and I pitched the heart. Then I ran the clubs from the top for 12 tricks and all the matchpoints. Thats right West was ‘inexorably’ squeezed on the SA. East was likely to hold the CQ for his overcall.

Much fun.

I am curious about the fun caused by E playing the DK on the first round.
