Deal 60	♠ Q J 5 ♥ Q 9 6 2 ♦ A 7 4 ♣ Q J 6		South plays 4♠. West leads the ♦K. Losers: ♠ 0 : ♥ 2 : ♦ 2 : ♣ 0 : Total = 4 The two fast losers in ♥s can't be helped, but maybe you can get rid of one of the ♦ losers. Win the ♦A and play the ♣6 to your ♣A. Play ♠A, then a small ♠ to dummy's ♠J. Lead the ♣Q. If East covers, ruff and re-enter dummy with a trump so you can discard a ♦ loser on the ♣J. If East doesn't cover the ♣Q when you lead it, discard a ♦ immediately. As long as East holds the ♣K you can make the contract. This is called a Ruffing Finesse. Click NEXT to see all four hands.
