Souths Safety Play Secures a Bridge Slam
In a bridge hand South wins the diamond lead, draws trumps, and uses a safety plan to guarantee the slam. After cashing A K of diamonds and ace of hearts, ruffing the queen of hearts, and then cashing the ace of clubs, South exits with a low club. West must concede a ruff discard or return a club, leaving South with the remaining tricks. The line works regardless of club distribution, with only a small potential loss if East holds a Q-x doubleton.
