I believe the answer is:

slam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'a big hit' is the first definition.
'slam' can be an answer for 'hit' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'a big' bit.

'the bridge table?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slam that I've seen before include "Crash (door closed)" , "big contract" , "Violently strike against" , "A grand one is 13 tricks" , "(Almost) all the tricks" .)
