South won spadeK in dummy and led a heart for an immediate finesse of the queen. West won the king and persevered with another trump, so South won in hand with the nine while East ditched a club. After ace and another heart West threw a diamond, so declarer ruffed in dummy and returned to clubK to draw trumps, throwing a club and diamond from dummy. From the discards it appeared to South that West has forsaken diamonds, so after clubA and a club ruff, East was mercilessly squeezed in the red suits. North-South + 1430

This was the position before South played at trick nine..
