At one table South doubled, West passed and North bid 4club (take your pick), so South bid 4heart to end the auction.

West led ace, king and another diamond for east to ruff with heart3. After clubK switch, what should South do on winning with clubA - drop the singleton spadeK offside? Impossible! No, declarer took the mortal line and went one off.
