Santa Clara 9/3 - play 4H

To recap, I played in the two day pairs, where day 1 was the qual. I played terribly, and we didn't make the cut.

Then we played in a bracketed KO where we asked to be moved up and promptly lost.

So now we are in the final round of the loser loser swiss.

Here's the one thing I did well all weekend.

Kx AQJT7 x JTxxx

1H (3D) 3H (p)
4H (p) p (x)

DQ lead, we see

xxxx 865 Kxx AK9
Kx AQJT7 x JTxxx

I duck the opening lead, and the ace appears on my right. RHO now plays ace and a spade.

I cross to dummy's CA and casually float the H8. LHO shows out. Repeat the finesse.

At this point, I play a club to dummy's K, dropping LHO's Qx! Now, I play the DK to try to induce the ruff, and RHO obliges. Cross back to dummy's C9, pick up trumps, 4Hx+1.
