At the table North doubled and took plus 200 when South cashed heartK and switched to a club at trick two, but this was poor result as five pairs reached a slam, two of them doubled.

Spare a thought for one other North who also passed his partner's 3NT overcall. East passed too, and West put a club on the table, so East-West registered the best score of plus 100.
