A Great Hand Courtesy of Larry Cohen
Larry Cohen sent us this link to an article he wrote about a "great hand" played by Lapt Chan in the Round of 16 of the 2007 USBC. Here are pictures of Lapt and Larry at the USBC, and the hand - can you guess how Lapt made 4
after a trump lead? Click on the link to Larry's site to find out. This diagram of the hand shows Lapt in his "real" seat (North). The hand on Larry's site is rotated to make Lapt South, since all declarers in bridge articles sit South.
