This hand is all about timing. Although you almost certainly need trumps to be three-two there is no need to rely on a three-three spade break. After cashing heartK at trick four you play spadeAK and ruff a spade, ruff your last diamond and ruff another spade. With the spades established you can now cross to clubK and cash a spade winner to discard your last club loser.

Well, that is the theory ..
