Scott wins the bid. With Fives trump, Don has the Five/Blank four deep. Don will try to void a suite, to trump game with the Five/Blank .

Also Don may trump the Trey/Deuce or the Four/Ace and win a second trick to "Trump Set". If the bid is "32" or more, Don only has to trump any other game (other than the Double Five , High Trump) with the Five/Blank to "Trump Set".

Scott leads the Double Five , Tom plays the Ace/Blank showng the common off, John plays the Six/Ace indacating he has the Double Six Don plays the Five/Ace . Scott sees than Don has all the other trumps.

If Scott leads the Double Five , the Five/Six , then the Five/Four , Don could wait to Trump the last trick with Tom Protecting the Six/Four .

Scott's only chance is to "hit" his partner. John indicated sixes, but Scott has none. So Scott lead trump again, but has to keep his last high trump to get back in the lead or trump the Six/Four or "overtrump" the Five/Blank . Scott leads the "cow" Five/Six . Tom plays the Trey/Ace voiding Treys so he can play the Six/Four if Treys are lead. John plays the Double Trey Indacating he has the trey/ six . Don plays the Five/Deuce . Scott leads the Trey/Deuce to John's trey/ six . John could lead either the Double Six or Double Blank allowing Scott to get rid of his Four/Ace then the Deuce/Ace . Don gets rid of his Six/Blank and Four/Blank Voiding each. John must lead the Deuce/Blank to Scott's Double Deuce . If Don trumps, Tom has to follow suit and play his Four/Deuce . Now Scott leads or trumps with the Five/Four taking the Six/Four .
