Why does he do that?* (4) |

|
In 'Why does he do that?' we focus on the bidding and/or play of an experienced, good player.
At some moment we ask why he did what he did. | | ♠ | Q 10 7 | | | | ♥ | 10 8 7 6 | | ♦ | A K Q J 9 | | ♣ | A | | | |  | ♠ | A K J 8 6 | | | | ♥ | 2 | | | | ♦ | 10 8 2 | | | | ♣ | K 10 7 6 |
| West | North | East | South |
|---|
| — | 1♦ | 1♠ | 2♥ | | pass | 4♥ | pass | pass | | pass | | | |
West leads the ♠9 and East scores three spade tricks. West had a doubleton in spades and discards the ♣2 (attitude: negative).
To the fourth trick East plays the ♠8, into the triple void! Why does he do that? |
