Bob Hamman hustled to win a doubled slam after East opened with Lightner Slam Double. East ruffed the first diamond, but Hamman’s defense limited East to no extra tricks. West led a heart from a long suit, East ruffed, and Hamman clinched the remaining tricks to seal the contract.
In a contract battle described by United Feature Syndicate, Bob declares four rounds of trumps and dumps clubs as dummy discards. East faces a Hobson's choice on the last diamond, with QJ hearts and QJ10 clubs. A heart ruff and club nine could force a slam despite East's lead-directing double.
