Most baffling play of the weekend

This was the play that caused the greatest problem for all of us this weekend, and I am talking about many several Giants and many top players, all of whom look at this play and NO ONE got the right play.

Not only did no one get the right play, NO ONE CONSIDERED IT. Not only did not one consider it, but after seeing the rollout showing it was the right play, NO ONE BELIEVED IT.

Not only did no one believe it, NO ONE could come up with a reasonable explanation for it being the right play.

After much discussion by 9 people in the room, Jim Pasko made what we all agreed was quite possibly the best comment: "What makes you think XG is right?"

So now that you have the QF to tell you that whatever you think is the right play probably isn't, I challenge you to do two things:

1. Select what you think is the right play;

2. See if you can guess what XG's play is.
