The deal was played many times, and at each table East opened the bidding with a weak 3club or the equivalent, sometimes with clubs disguised as an 'unspecified minor'. In almost all cases South ended in 3NT. You lead the clubJ after the auction shown, which goes eight, queen, five. At trick two East leads the clubK which is won by declarer's ace.
