Got off to a great start after some amazingly aggressive bidding by Adrianne.
After two passes Adrianne opened 1H, Marilyn bid 2N, I passed and Steve bid 3C. Adrianne now bid 3H, Marilyn 4C, I bid 4H, Steve 5C, round to me and I doubled.
Adrianne cashed AH, switched to a spade to my Ace and I exited with a club. Steve cashed three rounds of trumps and just hand to pick up the diamonds for the contract. Where will the QD be? Adrianne had bid twice, I had passed over 2N, surely the only chance was to drop it doubleton, down 1.
This hand was cruel luck. Adrianne is in a straightforward looking 4H. Liz leads AS, now if she cashes the King, Adrianne can ruff a spade and set up the 9 for a diamond discard, but Liz switches unerringly to 9D.
Adrianne covered with the 10, Bill the Jack and she took the Ace. OK that;s three losers, but just draw trumps for 10 tricks. Adrianne led small to the King and uh uh, down 1.
