Scoring: MP

Board 11. Bidding Script: North overcalls 4♠ (if he can), south carries to 5♣. Should West open an unlikely 4♥ NS are out of the bidding.

This is one where i wondered if East would make a negative double over 4♣. The answer is a big YES for forum bidders. The second question I had was if WEST would bid 5♥ on his own in an auction that goes P=1♥=(4♣)=P=(5♣)=5♥=(P) and if he does, can East with first round control of ♣'s and undisplayed values find the pass? The answer today is yes, the answer in 2004 when this hand was played was no. Well done forum members. There is also a question about if pass of 5♣ would be forcing pass since passed hand opposite a preempt are at the five level.

5♠/5♥ew = 10, 5♣Xns=4, 5♣ns = 2,

The 4♥ contract was due to an opening bid at the four level (4♣ namyats, so NS did not enter the bidding.

Something seems weird there... sure those are the hands?

Yeah, those are the wrong hands. This must be the one where W has 7 solid hearts?
