Declarer ruffed in dummy and ran heartJ to West's queen. West recognised the threat of the club suit and, remembering his partner's 3spade bid, switched to spadeK to attack dummy's outside entry. There was no immediate reason to win so declarer ducked, but West continued and spadeA won. South came back to clubK to ruff a further diamond, ruffed a spade and ran all the trumps. At trick twelve he led a club towards ace-jack and West followed with club10. Knowing that diamondK remained in East's hand South played with the odds and took the finesse. Minus 200 .. unlucky.
