lenv1Just pointed out to me:
Monday night my partner had a non-material throw in.
23) 3rd, both
9xxx QJx Ax Qxxx
1C-P-1S-2D, 2S-3D-P-P, X-P-3S-P, P-P
2S promised four. The double of 3D was undiscussed.
DK lead:
AQxx Kx Tx AJ9xx
9xxx QJx Ax Qxxx
She won the first diamond, finessed SQ (RHO dropped the ten), SA (LHO dropped SK but he's good enough to do that from KJx, RHO followed small but she's good enough to play this way from JTx although it would be suit preference) and led HK losing to HA (possible defensive error). RHO won HA, cashed DJ, exited a heart. Pard cashed a third heart, pitching a club as LHO pitched a diamond, and led CQ-K-A-x. Now what?
It's hard to believe RHO wouldn't have cashed SJ, so she seemed to be 2=6=3=2 or 2=6=4=1. Just in case she's 3=6=3=1 it seems safe to exit a trump. She won and...was caught in a non-material endplay!
She could exit a red card, giving up a useless ruff-sluff, but pard ruffed and could take the club hook. +170.
Nicely played.
