Jacoby On Bridge East's Double Secures Narrow Slam
East's double by Jacoby helps South win a near slam in bridge. He wins the first trick with the diamond ace, ruffs, returns heart, and ruffs two more diamonds, then a trump ruff finishes the diamonds. A club is lost, but the slam is achieved without the bonus, while South and North settle for a game. South still makes 12 tricks.
