2/19 Woodland Hills

Drove down to Woodland Hills for the regional with Steve.

Here's a standard play problem

Matchpoints, you declare 3S after the auction 2S 3S

QJ7 JTx KJ8x AJ9
KT9852 xx Ax Kxx

They lead HK, HQ, heart to east's ace, which I ruffed with the 8.
A spade to the J and east's ace, and she returns a spade. Spades are 1-3, east having 3.

You've lost two hearts and a spade.
-- -- KJxx AJ9
KT -- Ax Kxx

Now what?
