West opened a sporting 3club and East did a little too much in raising to 6club! South bid 6diamond under pressure to land in the safest slam. A club was ruffed and declarer drew three rounds of trumps to end in dummy. spadeJ was led from dummy, East played low and West won. Dummy could be safely entered with heartK and, with West's pre-empt in mind, South took the correct view by finessing spade10 on the second round of spades. North-South + 920.
