Declarer won in hand and immediately led a heart. Another trump was won in hand and declarer followed with ace, king and another diamond - ruffed in dummy when West showed out. A heart ruffed in hand was followed by another diamond ruff and East's last trump extracted with clubQ. spadeAKQ and the fifth diamond took the last four tricks, so IMP-like bidding produced a top score at pairs.
