West's deceptive play sinks declarer in Vanderbilt match
In a Vanderbilt Team Championship deal North-South vulnerable, West cleverly wins the nine of trumps with the queen to mislead declarer about trump division. South ruffs diamonds, then West cashes four trumps and four diamonds, leaving declarer with five diamonds and four trumps to lose, down six for 1700 points. South could have avoided the trap by a different trump lead, decreasing the loss to 500.
