South led club2 at trick four!! After the hesitation it was clear to declarer that West held clubK43 and so declarer played like a man appearing to hold merely clubQ2. After agonising for ages West played low and declarer wrapped up eleven tricks. That's one ploy that I suspect the embarrassed West will not be using again.
