JM blasted to a GS that succeeded on a finesse. Was it because 6♥ response to 5Nt showed 2 Kings? Was it because he sensed that the finesse was on - that could happen if East betrayed disinterest in the proceedings. I don't know the exact cause. The end result was a 10 IMP gain.
Deal 48: 10 IMPs to INDIA BLUES
Total : INDIA BLUES: 97
FORMIDABLES: 109
