After this short but effective bidding sequence Sementa
justified his judgement in the bidding with brilliant declarer play.
He won the diamond lead with dummy´s ace, played a heart to ace
and another heart. Now the contract is unbeatable, had East however
found a trump lead, her side would have been all smiles. |
