Let's say you win, cash two trumps, cross back to hand with clubK and draw trumps in two more rounds - East has four. You lead a diamond to dummy's king and nothing exciting happens (East plays diamond3, West diamond2), so you cross back to a spade, East showing out, and lead another diamond. East plays diamond9. Either West had ducked with diamondA and you must finesse, or East might have given you the chance of an overtrick by ducking twice with the ace.

Well?
