I will give it from the most mundane hand as a lead problem. You will see the other hands later. Playing against THE BEST PAIR IN THE WORLD.
Your lead?

Scoring: IMP

Hmm, I would make the same lead as Justin.

Probably means we're both wrong. :P

OK, you get the idea that a trump lead is right, so I will give you pards hand.

Scoring: IMP



A member of the Fleisher team thought he can beat 6S so he dbled. Meckstroth redbled Now a trump lead which was necessary is no longer possible. They were ahead by a sizeable, but shrinking number of imps at this stage. The other table played in 4SX making 6 so they lost 13 imps instead of a similar gain.
Thus the dbl cost 26 IMPs. This is board 103 of the semifinal if you want to look it up.

Suits are not breaking, lead a trump to cut down the ruffs.
