Peter Hollands Daily Video Report

 Women's Match 1 Board 19 EW Vul

Sitting West you hold:

♠ 10

♥ 7653

♦ AKJ8432

♣ 2

 Your right hand opponent passes and you open 3♦.  Left hand opponent bids 3♠ which is passed round to you.  What do you do?

In the match against Korea, Rena found the double which her partner happily passed holding:

♠ KQJ42

♥ T

♦ T

♣ AKT543

On best defence they could have picked up 800, but were happy with 500 and 9 imps in when their team mates went -100 in 4♥. Well done Rena and Lorna.

The Open team liked this hand as well, when Sartaj and Peter, sitting EW bid and made an unmakeable 5♦ and Andy and Nabil, sitting NS made 2♥ for 12 imps in.
