Dble End
. . . only a 20 IMP gain instead of the full 24!!! West had doubled 7heart with the sort of enthusiasm generally reserved for a hand with two aces and the king of trumps. He then had to find a lead. Unfortunately he chose spadeA, liking the singleton king and hating the ruff. heartA collected the king and a club to the ace exposed the club position, enabling two club hooks to be taken using two trump entries for +2470.

Meanwhile, Steve is still waiting for a chance for score the full 24 IMPs.
