I made a take-out double and West redoubled to show a good hand. This came back to me and I bid one spade. After two passes, East bid two no trump. I bid my second suit, clubs. West doubled and partner took me back to three spades. East doubled and West led the queen of diamonds. The jack of diamonds won the second trick and the ace of hearts won the third trick. Another heart was trumped with the seven of spades. The king of spades drove out the ace. East returned a small club which went around to the queen. I led dummy's last spade, drew trumps and claimed for plus 730. This was always going to be a good score but when our teammates came back to the table we found that they had played the hand in the East-West direction at three no trump, making an overtrick. The combination of a vulnerable game in each direction was worth 16 imps (International Match Points).
