Coffee house

Just a quickie.

I directed two games at once today, the first time I've done that. There was an open game of 14 tables, and a 299er game of 4 tables. I seemed to be horrendously busy all afternoon, but actually things went pretty well.

There was one interesting ruling which has prompted this post. Halfway through a hand, a defender leads a spade through declarer, and LHO wins the trick with the queen. Declarer says "I couldn't see your card; did you win the king?". LHO subsequently lays down the ace of spades, thinking that his partner has the king. But near the end, the king of spades appears from declarer's hand.

I haven't seen a coffee-house like that in quite a while.
