Six Club Slam Missed In Five Table Match
In a five table match the final contract at all tables was six clubs and declarers missed the slam. South cashed A K of trumps early and later lost a spade and a trump. By postponing trump leads until in the right position, the slam could be made. Best line starts with winning the diamond lead and returning the jack of spades. If West ducks, the jack wins and side-suits play out. After cashing clubs and hearts, finessing against East for the queen offers two routes to the slam depending on Wests queen and the success of the trump finesse. Endplay options exist if West yields the queen or trumps are properly managed.
