When Piotr Gawrys in North did not cue bid 4, Sam Lev used a “psychic” Roman Key Card Blackwood to “hide” his void before jumping to 6.

East unwisely doubled, and Lev redoubled. West led a low heart, the 10 bringing out East’s ace. Again, basically whatever Lev did was going to work and he gained an overtrick.

So, which scores higher, 7doubled and made or 6 redoubled and made with an overtrick?

Surely you have those scores  on the tips of your tongues!

No?

Well, 7doubled and made is 1770; 6 redoubled with an overtrick is 1820 – Lev had his teammates covered!
