There was nothing to the play. Lost one trick to the ace of heart, twelve tricks for +920.
At the other table our opponent stopped at five diamond, made the same tricks for +420. We won 11 imps.
The knockout phase of the Rosenblum starts to-day. There are eight teams with Canadian players in it, so I will be following the matches with much interest.
Wishing them good luck. Go Canada Go!
