A briefing on a 1949 national bridge hand from Detroit highlights Canadian players Mimi Roncarelli and John Wiser. South lobbies three no trump hoping for four tricks, but three no-trump collapses as spade leads grant five tricks. Roncarelli bids three clubs, Wiser responds three hearts showing his side.
In a detailed bridge analysis, Wiser overbids hearts while denying spade strength, Miss Roncarelli declines no-trump, and the result hinges on a club contract. The defense and declarer play unfold with trumps, a heart finesse, and a twelve-trick victory for the declarer.
