Eisenberg defies hearts by careful card play in 1980 London event
In the 1980 London Sunday Times Invitational Pair Championship, Billy Eisenberg reached three notrump after a sequence proving West's likely distribution. He cashed high cards then led a heart to dummy, guarding against East’s possible king while preserving chances for West’s heart singleton. The play yielded three spade tricks, two hearts, three diamonds, and a club, with Eisenberg ending up ninth trick ahead.
