Bridge writers usually write about hands with slams or intricate plays, but in 1955 the most innocuous and worthless ever seen was the talk of the town. Take a look:
| West | East |
| ♠ 6 5 3 | ♠ K Q 9 4 |
| ♥ 7 6 3 | ♥ K 8 |
| ♦ 7 6 5 4 3 2 | ♦ 10 8 |
| ♣ 6 | ♣ Q J 10 4 2 |
13 players held the West hand in a Wednesday afternoon session at the 1955 Winter Nationals. Imagine their surprise when this little gem took the only defensive trick against 4♥.
The singleton club was led, and before declarer, South could set up the proper play of the hand, West ruffed a club.
