Unusual Bridge Play Keeps East Off Lead
South plays twice to keep East from leading, avoiding two spade losses by careful club and trump handling. After a club lead, he avoids ducking the queen from dummy, then finesses a trump to the king and later draws to secure 11 tricks if the finesse succeeds, or 10 if it fails but still makes the contract with West on lead.
