Jacoby played in 3NT after
Soloway had put in a heart overcall. East-West attacked hearts
and Jacoby held up until the third round. It seemed one of those
hands that would probably make if the A
was well placed, and indeed the contract made at all the other tables.
Jacoby could see one other chance - if something good happened
in the club suit. He entered dummy with a high spade and led a club.
The trick went Q,K,A,J!
Back to dummy with the other top spade for another club lead. This
time it went three, four, eight and nine! Goldman cleared
spades and when he regained the lead with A
he was able to cash a spade for the setting trick!
