This is horrible. Although there are eleven top tricks you know that they will be in 6spade or 7spade in the other room, so your efforts are likely to be a damage limitation exercise at best. Nevertheless, after cashing a few black winners there might be a little squirming because someone will have to hold on to three diamonds. Let's say you end in dummy after trick nine. Each defender throws two hearts and one diamond. What do you do?
