Opening bid of a Grand Slam

These cards were shuffled and dealt in a London bridge club in 1983, playing for money, at £3 per 100.

Not from a goulash with 13 cards in one suit, but from a real deal.

(£3 in 1983? That's quite big dosh per 100, enough to pay for a full tank of petrol, or 12 pints in the pub. Let's hope we don't go down 500).

The great player Jeremy Flint was playing South. The stakes on this single deal would have kept your car in fuel for a year.
