Nice one eh? East threw spade8 on West's heart10 and South had no answer. If he threw a spade then West would play a spade to his partner's ace. If he threw a club West would cash clubA and play a spade for his partner to win the last two tricks.

Just to rub it in, East-West staged a dramatic recovery and walked off with a big rubber!
