South’s slam bid in bridge misfired amid limit raises
South and partner faced a limit raise scenario after North jumped to three hearts. West forced to lead a losing card, South drew trumps and ruffed, West counted the hand, and a diamond lead would still give South a ruff and discard but leave clubs as the losing trick. The slam could not be beaten, and the contract stood as West’s defense unfolded.
