# two aces

East-West were an irregular partnership and, rather than muddy the waters with a more sensible 3heart, East decided on the practical approach - an enquiry with Blackwood. Two aces was the reply, and East bid the slam, trusting the clubs opposite to be good enough. Out of the blue, South doubles.
