Play the board of the day

Many players played small to the Ace, then small to the Jack. Given East had ♥Q976, this play resulted in them taking three Heart tricks.

The hand is from Board 2, which was played by Alex Perlin on Day 1. Let's see how he played the board:

He played the Ace, then finessed the ♥Q in East by playing the ♥10 from dummy. All players followed suit with small cards. He then played another heart to the Jack, gaining four tricks in the suit. This strategic play earned him a score of 100% on this board.

As the tournament continues, it's clear that players are relying on their knowledge and skills to make impressive plays and climb the leaderboard. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the final result!
