N-S were playing Bergen raises, so 3 showed four-card support with about 7-10 points. Lea du Pont took advantage by doubling to show her clubs. After John Lowenthal leaped to 4, Benito Garozzo pushed him to 5, which goes down two, vulnerable, for a pretty good result for E-W. However, du Pont bid 6, and Garozzo wound up making seven!

Poor Lowenthal. He probably doubled hoping it would go at least two off. +1190 to E-W, for 13.17 IMPs. Marty should see this hand.
