We are having a beautiful sunny day at The 84th North American Bridge Championships.
This afternoon, Maurice and I played in the final of the BAM with Jim Aitken, Pat Dunn, Ray Loftis and Ken Christiansen, all from Seatlle area.
Board 16. Dealer West. E-W Vul.
I as East, held ♠ AJ9 ♥ AJ10962 ♦ 7 ♣ K42
We had this auction.
| West | North | East | South |
| 1♥ | Pass | 2NT* | Pass |
| 3♠ | Pass | 4♠ | DBL |
| Pass* | Pass | 6♣ | Pass |
| 7♥ | All Pass |
2NT-Jacoby 2NT, strong heart raise. 3♠-short spades. 4♠-RKC for hearts. Pass-0/3 key cards. 6♣ -ask for third round control in clubs.
Maurice claimed 7 after the spade lead.
At the other table.

| 1♥ | Pass | 2NT* | Pass |
| 2♠* | Pass | 4NT* | Pass |
| 5♦ | Pass | 5NT* | Pass |

They didn’t have this toy and could not be sure if they had a club loser. Stopped in the small slam, made seven.
This was the deal.

nice toy
Don’t you mean “2nd round control?”
6 level bid ask for 3rd round control of that suit. Either Qxx , KX or x.
Toys are fun to play with — nice job.
