At this table East led a trump. Well done indeed. North won and realised that the contract would depend largely on the heart suit and rattled off six rounds of trumps. Nobody threw a heart so there was little else to do except play ace and another heart. East won heart10 and inexplicably switched to a club!!!! You won't need me to explain the rest.
