From their table to mine by Phillip Alder
In a New York City pro am a deal unfolds with bidding quirks and commentary. After two passes East opens diamonds, West overcalls, revealing a forcing reverse. West ends in five clubs. South bids five spades, East-West defend, and three hearts are claimed. The writer notes a seven hearts laydown at one table and discusses grand slam chances and outcomes across the field.
