The count suggests to me that I ought to take the finesse, but these guys' table action has convinced me otherwise. I am certain that the club finesse is not working, so I fly with the Ace, cash the trump Ace (nothing good happens) and play hearts. West ruffs the third hean (uh, oh) and continues with...a diamond. Good news! I ruff my good diamond, and cash a fourth heart, shedding my last club and claim the contract. Every card was offside, yet I still managed to make the hand. West is not happy with East. His initial salvo begins some thing like, "you idiot, can't you shift to a spade like a human being?" Hopefully, neither will trust the other for the rest ofthe match, but it was not to be. They calm down and play very well for the rest ofthe match, and we lose the first match 32-2. We shall have to do very well indeed for the rest of the day to win this event. Almost-we manage second, although not to this team! I wonder what happened to them. When I got back to our teammates' table, I hear them dis cussing this hand.
