Jay was mired in 3rd and had the leader, Brooke, passing to him. Anticipating disrespect, Jay sold out for the Grand Slam
by passing the 3,4,7 of hearts to Eric and received the A,Q of hearts and the Q of spades from Brooke. That left Jay's hand looking like this:
- A,K,Q,J,4 of spades; A,Q of hearts; A,K,J,8,7,6 of clubs.
Eric passed on the opportunity to take a club trick on round 1 and the King of hearts was sluffed by Kevin, who was in no position to be stepping up. Here is how it looked
