Unfortunately, the yarborough hand must be played. Even though you have no card higher than a nine, there is nothing in the Laws of Bridge that allows you to throw in your hand. Rather, the rare occurrence of a yarborough hand is an opportunity for a side bet, of which the traditional odds are 1000 to one.
