Come on out -- you're surrounded

I played in a club Swiss teams game Wednesday night with Ed, a decent Flight B player. He missed his chance to make a nice play on this deal. You're Ed and you hold:
♠K Q 4 ♥A J 9 ♦5 2 ♣K 10 8 7 4.

The auction went pass pass to him in third seat with both sides vulnerable, and he opened 1♣. It continued pass, I bid 1♠, pass back to him. He chose to pass. What do you think of that bid? I guess it's okay, but the downside is that we could still have game. Now his left-hand opponent balanced with double, I said redouble, and Ed's RHO bid 2♦. Ed competed with 2♠ and LHO tried 3♦. This passed back to Ed and he chose to double.

I understand double, although it's pushy. Just because our side has the balance of the high-card points doesn't mean we can set them if the distribution is crazy.

Ed led the♠K. I'm not sure I agree with that -- if you're making a double based on HCP, lead a trump. I'm just sayin'.

Here's the dummy that he saw:

                ♠ A 3
                ♥ Q 7 5 3
                ♦ A J 7 3
                ♣ Q 9 3
♠ K Q 4                         
♥ A J 9
♦ 5 2
♣ K 10 8 7 4          

Defend along with Ed. Declarer ducked the spade lead, so he continued with another. Declarer won and led the ♣3, 5, jack and Ed won his king. Now what?

Partner redoubled, showing a maximum passed hand, so let's try and figure out where his 10 or 11 HCP are. He has the ♠J for 1 HCP, the ♣A for 4 more. If he had the ♦K Q (x), that would be 10, but with good diamonds, he might have doubled 3♦ instead of passing. Voila, East has the ♥K (and if he doesn't, it's not likely to matter as a discard is available on the ♣Q). If East (me) also has the ♥10, then a shift to either the ace or jack will work. But what if declarer had the ♥10?

Here are all four hands (low cards are approximate):

                ♠ A 3
                ♥ Q 7 5 3
                ♦ A J 7 3
                ♣ Q 9 3
♠ K Q 4                       ♠ J 9 8 5 2
♥ A J 9                       ♥ K 8 2
♦ 5 2                         ♦ K 6
♣ K 10 8 7 4                   ♣ A 6 5
                ♠ 10 7 6
                ♥ 10 6 4
                ♦ Q 10 9 8 4
                ♣ J 2

Notice that if Ed shifted to the ♥A, declarer's 10 would set up. He could have shifted, however, to the ♥J -- a classic surrounding play.

Now when (if) declarer covered, I could lead a heart back through the ♥10.

At the table, Ed exited with a club, declarer played the 9, and I won the ace. We eventually took two more hearts and a diamond for down two and plus 500. I don't remember what our teammates did, but we won 12 IMPs on the board which helped us win the match. I wish my mistakes were 12-IMP pickups.

Eddie Kantar gives an example of a surrounding play here (scroll down to practice hand #4). You can see another example at the Bridge Depot.
