Pair use very undisciplined weak two bids which accounts for both West a opening bid and East a failure to raise with what was Likely to be the Best hand at the table. Since the Diamond holding was Over the Doubler East Felt his hand was better suited for defense. West led the seven of dubs taken with the Ace. The contract was surely going Down barring a defensive collapse Declarer must lose two hearts a club and at least two Trumps Mouriel tried to limit the damage by making the Fine play of the Queen of Trumps from Dummy at trick two. We know Many defenders who would cover with the King reflexively. Great would have been the fall thereon and Declarer would later Lead toward the ten to escape with two Trump losers and a one trick set. However Meckstroth worked out that there was no Way that covering with the King could possibly gain. If Declarer held the Ace ten of Trimpe the defenders would be limited to one Trump trick either Way. So East ducked and Declarer had to concede three Trump tricks Down two. Q.
