Careless Discard
There were no fewer than three hands which contained two voids during a recent Dutch tournament – you can go a year without seeing even one (unless you play “ghoulies”). As you can imagine, there were many different results on this week’s double-void deal, depending on South’s optimism. One South bid and made Seven Hearts, leaving East kicking himself.
West toyed with the) and led the King of Spades, ruffing when East played low in relatively bored fashion (not that anybody’s that bored when defending a grand slam).
