* 5-9, 5spade with 4+ minor

Had declarer guessed the hearts correctly then there would have been an automatic red suit squeeze on West, but as it was declarer simply ruffed the spade return and finessed diamond9 to wrap up eleven tricks. 14 IMPs was the result, but I'm told that was fairly representative of a match where the final difference was 133 IMPs.
