Poison Chalice

Many hands in bridge you would like to bid again, or should I say PASS.

Board 19, South opens 1NT and a vulnerable West has a dilemma.

Those West who took action by doubling, quickly got their side to 2S or 2NT.

Two Norths became saviours and bid to 2NT and 3S.

The auction closed at 1NT for 3 N-S pairs.

None of the final bids in all the auctions make with proper defence.

 Fortunately for those Souths in 1NT, West never got off to the best lead:  3H.

How often have you been told, you should "Pass". 

West and North lesson learnt.
