Now what is that you continue with two more rounds of clubs, throw away the spadeA and pray. East has to win, and as he started with a 4-3-2-4 distribution, he has to put you back in hand with spadeQ. 4heart made. Hooray!

South's 1heart bid is a good example of warped bidding leading to an "unusual" contract, which in turn leads to an unexpected result.....
