Bridge & Humor: The Lead

In a tournament, a player names hearts during the bidding, and ultimately, the opponents play the contract of 3NT.

The partner of the player led a diamond, and declarer claims 9 tricks, while a heart lead would have defeated the contract.

– I should have named the diamonds…maybe you would have led a heart… said quietly the player to his partner.
