The key to this hand is to play a spade (good) towards dummy at trick two, and not a diamond (bad). When the king held, club9 was finessed and a spade ditched from dummy on clubK. diamondA, diamond ruff and another spade put North in, who with exited with a diamond. After ruffing this, declarer ruffed a spade in dummy and another diamond in hand. Kwiecien led fourth round of spades and could not be prevented from winning ten tricks.
