Don't remember the details very well on this one. I think Franco led a high spade and shifted to a trump. With all the cards lying so well it didn't seem like there was much we could do to prevent declarer from taking 10 tricks. I suppose it would have been better for our side to play 3 rounds of spades and ruff high rather than playing trumps. The overtrick cost 4 matchpoints. -130 was still good for 9.5/17 matchpoints -- several north-south pairs were making 3NT.
