Declarer won in hand, crossed to spadeA and cashed heartK throwing diamond2. West ruffed and switched to clubK but it was too late. Declarer's club loser was parked on heartQ and he racked up +530. BELOW average!!!!

At many of the other tables East was less inspired. Most bid 4heart and North knew what to do with that .. it usually resulted in 800 for N-S. 5diamond(!) played more easily and occasionally escaped for - 500. The juiciest penalty went to the N-S pair playing against a West who thought his hand warranted a 4club overcall. He didn't make it. Anyone for pass over 3spade?

All in all, a nightmare. You had to defend well to have any chance, but getting to be a defender was so difficult.
