  At this stage declarer can draw my last trump, and cash his ♦ and ♠ tricks for a total of 7 tricks and down 4. However hoping for something to develop, he played DQ and a 3rd diamond.

In this position we were able to play ♥ A, ♥ to pd’s king and 3rd ♥  forcing dummy to ruff, and thus declarer was able to get only 2 spades to with his 3 clubs and 1 diamond.

A juicy 1400. Ekren Rocks!!!!

    The bigger problem was that 2N may not have been agreed as lebensohl though they may be playing that over a weak 2 dbl. Still Ekren would have produced a swing since NS might have been in 1N, either making or going -1 vis a vis 3C down 2

    Yes, you are right about 2N perhaps not being discussed. Manas probably shd’ve bid it anyway – whether pd takes it as lebensohl or scrambling – both work for him. Did he think it might be taken as natural? We’ll have to ask him.
