It is interesting to note that a grand slam can also be made in diamonds. However, it can only be made if bid by South,
If North happens to bid the dla monds, which was the case at one table, and the hand is played for a grand alam by North, East will open the deuce of hearts which will be immediately ruffed by West, thereby preventing a grand slam. An unusual bid, but one that helped to decide a championship.
