At the table South took a very reasonable line - probably the one we would all take if we are honest. spadeK followed at trick two but East showed out. Declarer drew all the trumps and played a heart to the Ace and this time West showed out!! Declarer was able to establish the thirteenth trick via the ruffing heart finesse, but was unable to untangle the entries to enjoy them all, and either diamondK or heart10 was destined to be stranded.

What's to be done?
