North played low from dummy and won with spadeK. Realising that spadeJ was a potentially important safety factor in his goal of establishing diamonds, North planned to lose the first diamond lead to West - and that was achieved by leading the unsupported diamondK! West could not profitably continue spades, so he exited with another diamond. North now had nine top tricks. Very neat. North-South +150.
