Lou’s double pays off in a bridge hand
Jacoby on Bridge notes that Lou opened four clubs and doubled. South misread the lead and played along, but Lou’s double collapsed South’s defense. South ruffed clubs, hearts, and a final heart back, yet Lou’s ace forced dummy’s last trump and won the game. We’ll never know if South could have made it without the double.
