You weren't really going to play low on this, were you? No, you rise with the king and, lo and behold, it wins the trick! You draw two rounds of trumps (West has one) and lead a heart to the jack which loses to the king. East cashes diamondQ and leads heart10 to his partner's queen. Winning with the ace, you ruff dummy's last heart (all following), cross back to dummy with a trump and lead a low club to East's nine, your queen and West's king. What do you do when West leads club5 at trick ten?
