East dealt with East-West vul-norable. The bidding Wes:
Norn Clubs Pass 3 He s Heart Hi Pass Pass South opened the queen of dia-mands, which dummy won with the ace. The deuce of hearts was led from dummy and East won with the king. The contract was safe if the hearts were divided 3—2, but East first sought to establish his club suit, leading the queen. South showed out and East played a low club from dummy, letting North win with the king. When North returned a diamond East trumped and still avoided leading hearts, playing a club again toward dummy's ace. South refused to trump and dummy won, A club was led back from dummy to trap North's ten. This time South trumped and continued diamonds, East ruffed again, played his ace of hearts and then returned to clubs, letting South trump with his high heart whenever he wished.
East made his contract by losing only one club and two hearts, whereas a hasty effort to draw trumps would have defeated him.
