A successful finesse

2021 WTC Europe Qualifier Open R13 | Board 2


Travellers of this board

Bridge deal from European open teams championship

When I see Swedish player was one of the 2 players that went down 4♠️ I knew sth was special with this board.

Contract: 4♠️ by East

Lead: ♠️7

Declarer played low and now its your turn as North!

Andrei went up with the Ace! And played a ♣️! 

Declarer immediately rose with the ace believing it’s a singleton and made a plan losing a spade, a club and a heart. 

Then he took a successful ♠️ finesse!!!

Now surprise! He lost 2 sp , a heart and a club for -1.

Good Defence Andrei!
