After making the very brave, some might say stupid, decision to go on over 4heart instead of doubling, West knew that he must make this wafer-thin slam to avoid incurring his teammates' wrath. North's lead of a low heart ran to South's queen and West's ace. How would you have played? We'll follow Reese's classic Play this hand with me approach.
