At the other table South again overcalled 2club but West leapt to 3heart. An unperturbed North hit the bulls-eye immediately with 5club, East doubled and that was that.

5club cannot be beaten. If the defence lead hearts declare can ruff three hearts in the dummy and ditch the other on a diamond. If the defence lead trumps then declarer will have a late entry to be able to access all those lovely diamonds. North-South +550.
