You win spadeA and cash heartK? West shows out!!!! You're going to need some luck now, so cash clubAK ditching a spade, cash diamondAK and pray that the queen drops. When the lady obliges, cross to dummy and lead diamond winners through East, overruffing when necessary. You'll have to overtake heartJ to retain control, but East will only make one heart trick. Twelve tricks.
