	♠ A J 8 6 ♥ A K ♦ J 9 5 ♣ A Q J 10

 

Deal 65	♠ K Q 7 2 ♥ J 4 ♦ 7 6 2 ♣ 6 5 3 2		South plays 4♠. West leads ♦A, ♦K, ♦4. East wins the third trick with ♦Q and plays a ♥. Losers: ♠ 0 : ♥ 0 : ♦ 3 : ♣ 1 : Total = 4 Since you've already lost the three ♦s you'd better not lose the ♣. You must find East with the ♣K and you must be able to finesse three times. That means three dummy entries and they all must come from the trump suit. Play the ♠A, then lead the ♠8 to dummy's ♠Q. Notice that you must save your ♠6. Pay attention to whether both defenders follow to both tricks. They do, and that means there is only one ♠ left out. Play a ♣ and finesse the ♣10. Now lead the ♠J to dummy's ♠K. Finesse the ♣J. Finally, lead the ♠6 to dummy's ♠7. Finesse the ♣Q. Claim the rest. Click NEXT to see the full deal.
