Today we bring you an article of a hand played by Pablo in the Pairs Championship Final B published in the Daily Bulletin, February 25 by Barry Rigal.
Pablo Lambardi found an ingenious position on this deal from the second session of the B finals.
He held the East cards on the auction above. The defenders led four rounds of hearts, dummy pitching a club
and North Sartaj Hans ruffing in with the 
9. Lambardi overruffed and led a spade to dummy and a club to the
king. South ruffed and played ace and another spade; this was the position as the third spade was led.
When dummy won the third spade what was North to
discard? If he pitched a diamond declarer would come
to hand in clubs, ruff a diamond and take two more club
tricks in the ending since both North and West would
be down to just clubs. When North actually threw a club
Lambardi discarded his blocking club ace and simply
set up clubs for one loser.
Making 1 was an 81% board –the field was going
down in clubs on the E/W cards, often doubled.
