Opening Lead J

East led the J and when it held she continued with the four, West winning with the king and playing the ace, ruffed and overruffed. A low club saw West win with the queen, return a club to the ace and ruff the third round of the suit. A heart was ruffed and overruffed and the defenders still had two trump tricks to come for +800.
Twelve IMPs for Poland that ended up winning the match by 58 to 33 ( 15.92 to 4.08)
