There were many differing results. One East passed his partner's reopening double over North's 2club .. he didn't get a top. Other Easts made negative doubles over North's overcall and scored 650 in 4spade or 680 in 4heart after non-spade leads.

Some pairs reached 6diamond and made it on the black suit squeeze mentioned earlier, but the unluckiest East-West pair must have been the one who reached the good 6heart. North doubled for a spade lead and duly got it. +200 was a top.
