Overbid leads to costly misfire in bridge hand
South overbids with three hearts after a conservative diamond opening and a spade overcall. North responds five diamonds, West doubles, and South suffers a 500 point penalty by losing spades, clubs, and hearts. Had South passed or North bid differently, the score could shift dramatically. Brading Mammoth discovery and a Kentucky telephony anecdote follow in brief items.
