Magnificent defense and a surprising slam on bridge
South held a four card heart? No, the narrative describes a bridge hand where South, unhappy with his hand, declines a no trump doubled and ends up making six tricks. West opens clubs, dummy plays, and after a sequence of trump and diamond plays, South ruffs a club and rakes two spades to secure two of the last three tricks.
