1 A back-to-back weekend of
genre-jumping live musical
entertainment is on tap for you
at the Lyric in Stuart, starting off
Friday with “Pop Legends in Con-
cert: The Prince & Michael Jack-
son Experience.” With the flare,
swagger and style of two of the
greatest pop icons in the history
of pop, and his own talent, ener-
gy and pipes, Bobby Miller recre-
ates the excitement and magic of
a live Prince and Michael Jackson
concert. It’s no surprise that Mill-
er can nail he moves, manner-
isms and music of these adored
entertainers since, says the Lyric
promo, he’s “studied and emu-
lated” their persona, voice and
dance movements … since early
childhood.” With a strong back-
up band, back-up singers, spot-
on costumes you’ll recognize,
and songs you love, like “Purple
Rain,” “1999,” “Beat It,” “Thrill-
er,” and “Man in the Mirror,” this
all-out, fully-staged show is one
Prince and Michael Jackson fans
will want to catch. So, get your
tix and party like it’s 1999. Show
starts at 7 p.m.

IF DECLARER SLIPS, MAKE HIM PAY NORTH

A slip of a card may cost you a contract, whether you are the declarer or a defender. It is 42 Q 10 9
important, of course, that when an opponent slips, you make him pay. Do not slide also A 10 9 8 5 SOUTH 732

In this deal, how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the club AK85
10? J4

That South hand, despite its 19 points, is close to a two-no-trump opening because Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both
it has seven ace-king points (two for each ace and one for each king). But the weak
doubleton club suggests taking the low road. The Bidding:

South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
(at trick one). By far the best chance for two more winners is to play on diamonds. After 1 Diamonds Pass 1 Spades Pass
taking the first trick with the club jack, South should cash the diamond ace. Here, when 2 NT Pass 3 NT All Pass LEAD:
West plays low, declarer continues with the king. When everyone follows, declarer plays 10 Clubs
a third round, and he might well end up with an overtrick. This play has an a priori 92.4
percent chance of success. (If West plays the diamond nine or 10 on the first round,
South should next lead a low diamond toward dummy’s jack.)

At the table in a social game, South slipped: He crossed to dummy with a spade at trick
two, then played a heart to his jack. West defended accurately by taking the trick and
leading a second low club to keep communication with his partner. Now the contract
was over.
