Tony cashed diamondA to see the seven from partner and followed with club4 to dummy's jack and partner's queen. After ruffing the low diamond return club10 was covered by the king and ace as declarer followed with the nine. Two rounds of hearts with the ace and king were followed by a club to North's seven and a fourth round of spades - promoting South's heart10. Four off!
