I'm teasing really, as you can see, because when you cash spadeA nothing exciting happens, and both missing honours fall under the king. Now you're in a position to eliminate the other suits before addressing the hearts. Ace and another diamond, ruffed, followed by a club to the king to ruff dummy's last diamond. A club ruffed in dummy leads to the following end position - page forward to see.
