Thoma continued showing extra length in the trump suit, and the partnership begun to inform about their controls. Finally South asked for keycards, and continued asking for the kings when he found out they had all of them.

After listening that his partner had the K, South declared the Grand Slam. Campos led his K, declarer won witth the A and played the A, watching West pitching a spade. Thoma continued with the Q, West covered and declarer won with dummy’s A, played a heart to the J, continued with the A, ruffed a heart in dummy, pitched his spade loser in the K and claimed 13 tricks…

Ravenna led his sixth spade, Thoma won with his A and returned his J, declarer won the trick with his K. Immediately Campos won two heart tricks, when South held up his heart ace. At this point declarer had 8 tricks so he continued developing his ninth trick in the spade suit and claimed his contract.

 At the other table the bidding started exactly the same but over the 2 East’s rebid, West chose to sign off with 2…this decision ended the bidding and gave 10 IMPs to d’Orsi.
