With Zia South and Hamman North, 3NT was the final contract. An initial spade lead ran around to the ten and a club to dummy's ten was won immediately by the king. After this beginning Zia knew that heartK could not be in the East hand and had no problem dropping West's singleton, duly wrapping up +630 for a cold top. Many other declarers made +620 in 4heart by following similar principles.
