Bridge Deal of the Week (Aug 17 2007)

Problem:

The Auction:
West  North  East  South
1♥      pass    pass  dbl
pass    2♦      pass   3NT
all pass

South's bidding on this hand was rash to say the least. He bid 3NT unilaterally after West opened 1♥ (partner could have even zero points for his 2♦ call). Bidding 2NT over 1♥, or bidding 2NT over the 2♦ would have been adequate. Anyway, the current task at hand is to make 3NT.

West leads the ♥K, East follows with the four. Can you help South come to nine tricks?
