I've heard of awe power before, but this last weekend an elderly gentlemen actually keeled over dead playing against Barry Crane. Heart attack. I guess the pressure was too much. Anyway, on a lighter side, here is a hand from the tournament. Whats the best line of play: S:Kxxx The final contract is a more than reasonable 6H. H:KJxxx Unfortunately your right hand opponent shows up with D:Qx JTxx of spades. Suddenly the contract isn't so clear C:9x cut anymore. How do you proceed? This is IMPS. By the way, I was the east defender. Hearts break 2-1, east S:AQxx holding only one. The declarer at my table wasn't up to H:AQxxx making the hand. He gave me a chance to set it and I did. D:A Unfortunately one of my teammates blew his opportunity C:AQx to shine at the other table also.
