Eight of clubs from hand.

Jack of hearts.

Dummy wins with Jack of clubs, still has Ace and 7 of spades. I have the King and 4, thus we make one trick each, irrespective of who has the 6. Thus we get 4 tricks, and declarer makes 3NT.

Agreed.

Seems fair enough.

I think it might have gone a bit differently if JDGA had played her third heart, after the King. Or perhaps not.

Either way, well done on this hand opponents, and well done to us partner (and previous partner, if he ever sees this), on the final score.

I believe that makes the score:

North and South:

720 points

East and West:

600 points

I will probably want to play rather than mod the next one, for the curious. If you're interested in modding, let me know and I'll help you out with the process.

Shouldn't it be 720 to 600?

Yes. It should.

I don't think so, IIRC, as I had the queen stopper post-king lead regardless. I might have ducked the heart instead of the diamond, but I had to risk the second spade finesse either way, and the third heart lead would have made me more confident that I could risk it, actually, as the odds of dybeck not bidding over 1D with five hearts led by the king with eight points would have been pretty low.

Fair enough. Either way, your hands had game value, and 3NT was pretty much exactly correct.

Good game.
