Saturday morning lesson at 9:00 followed by 0-199 game at 9:15 am However, if Pavlicek had left in the double, we wouldnt have this well-played hand.Open pairs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 12:30 pm 8 is Enough Team Games 2nd and 4th Wednesday Evenings at 6:00 pm Winning 11 tricks (660) was the top score of those who played in notrump, losing only to a few pairs who collected 700. Meanwhile, West had to part with two of his diamond winners to protect the jack of clubs, so Pavlicek exited with a diamond to endplay West in clubs. The forced spade return allowed South to finesse the jack, then the ace was cashed. Pavlicek next cashed the ace and queen of clubs to reach this ending:Ī spade was led from dummy, East played the queen, and Pavlicek ducked to leave East on lead. East threw a spade, South a diamond, and West a spade. Convinced the diamond jack was a singleton, he cashed four rounds of hearts. The contract was cold of course, but overtricks are extremely important in matchpoint play. Instead of a spade, West led the king of diamonds, and Pavlicek won the ace. Passing for penalty would have worked better (an easy 700), but gambling on a four-trick set was surely against the odds. Pavlicek (South) did not have enough to act over three spades, but when his partner doubled he bid the vulnerable game.
