Bridge Deal of the Week (Oct 27 2006)

Problem:

West   North   East   South
                                 1♦
pass     1♥      4♠     5♦
all pass

You bid 5♦ after East's 4♠ puts pressure on you. Partner comes to your rescue and produces a fine hand, and the final contract is excellent. The ♣K is led, East drops the 9 on your Ace. Plan the play.

Hint:
You have three losers, 1 club, 1 spade and 1 heart. You should hope that the defensive communication is tangled, in which case they cannot take three tricks readily. Even then, you don't have an easy ride, and must plan the play in detail.
