This week's deal is from Croatia vs Ireland match and features good defending by Croatian team.
Ireland was playing a contract of 4
and received a
lead. Declarer won the
in dummy with Ace and immediately took
finesse.
This was won by Croatian defender with Ace!!!
Convinced that
finesse was working declarer went into dummy with
Ace and repeated
finesse. When Croatian East took the trick with
Queen the contract was doomed for the declarer was short of entry to take
finesse.
The old ruse has worked for Croatia.
