MP, best hand South, Instant, pro GIB 30.
I question East's 3H bid and North's final pass.
It turned out that +100 for 3S undoubled 2 down was worth 82%. But that was just lucky.
South had in fact promised an extra HCP not held, for a combined 23+ HCP for our side. Sure we appeared to have a D fit, but big deal, not a great fit, and North has excellent prospects for 3 trump tricks.
