This hand did Little to ease tensions. They both held the South cards in a team match at the club. Whether by design or Accident Tommy bid the hand Well. When North one of the better players in the club committed the hand to slam and investigated the possibility of a grand slam by Cue bidding the enemy suit despite the fact that the whereabouts of the Trump Ace was unknown Tommy realized that card was enough to go All the Way. West led the King of hearts. Both declares ruffed in Dummy and led the King of clubs to learn the bad news East now held a Long Trump. Vot Mai started running diamonds. East refused to Ruff discarding three Spades and heart. At the end Declarer could not prevent East from ruffing a Spade for Down one. Tommy was made of sterner stuff this was the kind of situation in which our hero excelled. He displayed impeccable technique. Before starting on the diamonds Tommy cashed the Ace of Spades this simple Man Euver made All the difference in the world. If East refused to Ruff Declarer would be Able to discard All four of the remaining Spades in the closed hand on the tables diamonds then Ruff a Spade for the fulfilling trick.
