Opening lead: Q

This hand was played back in 1957, in a
National Men's Pairs in Pittsburgh. South
was Billy Seamon and North was Tobias
Stone. To make an overtrick, declarer won
the first trick in dummy. Then came a club
to the ace, club ruff, heart to the ace, club
ruff, spade to the queen, club ruff. The trump
king was cashed, and a heart ruffed in the
South hand with the 8 of diamonds. The
ace-queen of diamonds drew the remaining
trump, and the ace-king of spades took the
last two tricks.

Have a nice weekend!
