contract in one of the tables, while the same contract was two down in the other. The match ended BK Lavec 16 Vp– Smile vs Israel Blue 14 Vp.
Board 1 Dealer North, None Vulnerable
Ventin opened the hand 1 and when his partner supported his suit, closed the game in spades.
The lead was the 
J. The declarer won the trick in his hand, to continue with two top club rounds, pitching a heart from dummy in the third round, Herbst in West ruffed, to play first the 
A and a little diamond. Ventin won the trick with 
10 in dummy, he continued with the spade finesse and when it was OK, he played: A, A, ruffed a club and K pitching a heart from his hand and claimed.
At the other table: The lead was the 9, declarer won with dummy’s K. Immediately came the J and when this won the trick, switched to a little club to the queen, king and a little club ruffed in dummy with the 5, Nystrom over-ruffed with his 9, to play a diamond. Upmark ruffed and returned a club…Nystrom ruffed again, now with his K, played the A and gave the rest of the tricks….Two down and 11 IMPs for E/W.
What happened with this board in the other tables? The board produced swings in almost all the tables. 7 tables were down in the same contract:
