This week's deal is from Wagar Women's Knockout Teams quarter finals where
Karen McCallum and Kerri Sanborn executed declarer's squeeze.
McCallum was South and was defending a contract of 2 NT by West.
Sanborn led
Q which was ducked by the declarer which prompted Sanborn to shift to
. Declarer took the
trick with 9 and played
queen. This was ducked by McCallum who ducked
Jack as well. Declarer now played a
to King and next ran
s pitching a
on last
. Declarer now played a
towards her queen and McCallum was ready. She won the trick with Ace and immediately cashed
Ace. This squeezed the declarer who had a
and three
s left. If declarer discrded a
Sanborn's
s would have become good
and if declarer discarded a
McCallum's
Jack would have become good.
Declarer went one down due to squeeze.
