Famous hand Charlotte’s Contract of Salado Bridge By Steve Becker Florals Freak hands produce freak results, as witness this deal from the World Gifts Pair Olympiad many years ago. All kinds of Indulgences results occurred at the 30 tables where the hand Located Midtown #8 Rock Creek was played, but we report (just a few steps off Main) (254) 947-0240 here only those of two American pairs who sat East-West. At one table, with Robert Jordan and Arthur Robinson sitting East- West, the bidding went as shown. The artificial two-diamond bid by North showed game- going strength but not necessarily diamonds. Jordan then leaped to five diamonds, partly in the hope of making it and partly to jam the bidding. He later doubled six hearts but wound up taking second money when the Dutch declarer lost only a spade trick and scored #4 Rock Creek 1,210 points. In fact, 947-3630 South would have made an overtrick if Robinson had led a diamond instead of a club. The other American pair, Marshall Miles and Phil Feldesman, had far 3 North Main better luck.
