This week's deal features Anna Malinowski of Norway from Norway's match against New Zealand in the league phase.
North opened 2NT showing both minors & 10-13 HCP. Anna passed as East.
South gave preference to
s by bidding 3
.West came in with 3
which got passed around to South who competed again with 4
.This got passed around to Anna who made a brave bid.
"Anna made a quick summary: South obviously has four
s, which gives
partner none. South often tends to have a semi-fit in opener's second

Play was simple.
Ace was led and ruffed by Anna in dummy.Ace of
and another
went to North's King who returned a
. Anna won the South's Queen with Ace and ruffed a
setting up the suit.She went to the dummy with
Ace and pitched her
on a good
. This was ruffed
by South who took another trick with her trump. Anna made her contract yielding +590 and 9 IMPs.
