Unusual contract rescue in a South dealer bridge hand
In a tricky contract a South declarer salvages a seemingly doomed contract. West led a king and another minor, East showed out on a trick, and after a sequence involving ruffs and a club entry the declarer reduced trumps to K-7, cashed top clubs and diamonds, and pressed for a sniping finish.
