Becker and the Slam Trick in a Bridge Hand
In a contract with North as dealer and both sides vulnerable, North holds 1A953 AJ2 and Q64 AKB85. The slam was made after discarding a heart on the return, but South ruffed clubs and pursued a heart finesse. South misread East’s play and the jack lost to the queen, leading to down one. East could have used the king to win the opening lead, but would reveal the ace, allowing declarer to set up a heart position by leading the queen through the ace to trap the heart loser.
