On the fourth ♦ East had to discard a ♥. You discarded a small ♠. West discarded a ♠ on the third ♦ and a ♥ on the fourth. Play dummy's ♦4. East cannot throw the ♣J or he will set up dummy's ♣8, so he discards a ♥. You discard the ♠7. Now West is squeezed. He cannot discard the ♠J or he will set up dummy's ♠9, so he discards a ♥. You win the last three ♥ tricks with another Double Squeeze. Deal 15 |
