 South bid three hearts. Mir Leon went to four diamonds, South bid six diamonds and MT Leon felt that, with his ace of spades
 and queen-jack of clubs, he was Justified in going to seven. The Play A club was opened by East, dum- my winning with the ace. The ace and king of diamonds were imme- diately cashed and on the. second diamond East showed out, discard ing his losing club.
 MT Leon has four trump to the queen-ten, while West holds the jack and eight. In order to pick up the jack of diamonds, MT Leon as to reduce the hand to the same number of trump as that held by West.
 He led small club and .trumped. Then he played a small spade, win ming in dummy with the jack. He returned a small heart. West, of course, must refuse to trump and should discard spade.
 MT Leon trumped with the nine of diamonds and then led another spade, winning in dummy with the queen. He now swung the queen of hearts and West was helpless.
 He must not trump or declarer would overtrump. so all that he could do was to discard the ten of spades. When the eight of hearts was led, West must discard the king of clubs and declarer dis carded the ace of spades.
 The lead was in dummy-West | held the. jack and eight of dia- monds and declarer the queen and | ten. No matter what card was led | from dummy West must trump. declarer overtrumped and picked up the other trump.
 By employing double coup MT Leon had made his contract of seven diamonds.
