Declarer followed with clubJ from dummy and East followed with the ten! Lulled into a false sense of security by the "obvious" location of clubQ, declarer ruffed low. West over-ruffed and led a diamond for East to ruff. heartA and a second diamond ruff meant that a 31 point game was one off!

Can you imagine playing like that at IMPS? Different game.
