At the World Bridge Championships in Philadelphia last October, Bobby Levin-Steve Weinstein had another major success: They won the Open Pairs, cementing their status as the top partnership in pairs events.

In today's deal, Levin fearlessly bid himself to four hearts and was doubled. When West led the jack of diamonds, Levin took the ace and led a LOW club.

West was snoozing. He played low, and the nine won. Dummy then led a spade, and East took the ace and led a diamond. Levin ruffed with the jack, let the king of clubs ride, ruffed a club, ruffed a spade and ruffed a club. East overruffed with the queen and led another diamond, and declarer ruffed low.

MAKING FOUR

West overruffed with the seven, but Levin ruffed the spade return and won the last three tricks with the A-9 of trumps and a club. Making four.

West's hand begged for a trump opening lead, which would have beaten the contract easily. But the way to win pairs events is to capitalize on opponents' errors.

DAILY QUESTION

You hold: S A 9 4 H K Q D K Q 5 4 3 C 8 7 3. Your partner opens one heart, you bid two diamonds and he rebids two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: You have enough values to insist on game, but though four hearts may be your best contract, you must not bid it directly. Your partner's second bid does not promise a suit longer than five cards. Bid two spades. If partner bids 2NT next, raise to 3NT. If he does anything else, show your heart support.
