North suddenly realized that he did not know what South's one no-trump bid meant, but he decided to gamble on its being a strong hand. Therefore he raised to two no trump, and South, expecting his partner to have a much stronger hand, went to game.
West opened the five of diamonds. Disregarding the usual procedure, which would be to keep a sure entry-card in dummy as long as possible, South put up the king and led a heart. The queen was allowed to win the trick. Now a low spade was led and dummy's ten was finessed, East taking in his spade king. On a diamond return South played low, and another diamond lead he won with the ace. -It was a simple matter now to run the remaining spades and plish a second heart trick by lo ing through East's ace again.
South made his game, but West might have beaten it after the second round of diamonds by shifting to a club. This would not have been a far-fetched play, for We: could be nearly sure that South had ihe ace of clubs and would establish enough tricks to make game unless this club stopper were knocked out immediately.
