Winning with diamondA, ARF cashed spadeA and followed with spade9, covered by the ten and jack, only to see West throw a diamond. clubJ was ducked all round and heartJ was won by West who now tried to cash a diamond, so South ruffed. Two winning hearts ended in dummy so Tony continued with more hearts winners.

What could East do? To ruff sacrifices the other potential trump trick, but discarding allows South to ditch club losers.

"Game on a 23 count!"

"Well, said Sallt, MY Tony did even better"…
