George Rosenkranz and Miguel Reygadas enjoyed these hands from the fourth qualifying session of the Société Générale Open Pairs.
Making 12 tricks was easy - the position of the ©K was marked so of course the finesse worked. This was worth a large proportion of the matchpoints.
When Rosenkranz started with the ©K, Reygadas played the 8, suggesting a switch. Rosenkranz led a spade to partner's ace, and Reygadas tabled his ©J, leading to two more tricks for the defence. Rosenkranz switched to a club, and declarer ducked to the king. Reygadas led a club back to the queen, and declarer went after trumps. But Rosenkranz rose with the ¨A and led a club for his partner to ruff. That capped an 1100-point set for virtually all the matchpoints. |
