Geir Helgemo is one of the top players in the world. This week's deal shows why.
He is known to make right choices when the situation is there of a guess. In 1990 his team
won the European Youth Championship. This week's deal is from that championship.
The bidding was routine with North's 2
being fourth suit forcing.Geir
sitting south received a lead of 3 of
s.
He won the trick with King and immediately played
Jack!!
WQhen this held the trick he played a
to King and continued with
10 which was covered by East. Geir allowed East to hold that trick who
now shifted to
s. East's
Jack took the trick and Geir won the
continuation with dummy's Ace and cashed
Ace. Now Geir took the marked finesse in
and cashed
Ace. By now West was down to
Q ,
A K
& Q 8 of
s and did not have a effective discard on
Ace.
Geir end played West with
who had to concede
tricks in the end to Geir's K 9.
Very well played. Geir made right choice when he tackled the
suit. This won him best played deal award in 1990.
