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, 7♠ doubled and made or 6♠ redoubled and made with an overtrick?
Surely you have those scores on the tips of your tongues!
No?
Well, 7♠ doubled and made is 1770; 6♠ redoubled with an overtrick is 1820 – Lev had his teammates covered!
