North should have ruffed with his winning trump and quickly switched to a club. In fact North, a player of world class, discarded on the spade. Now declarer could win spadeJ, ruff a diamond, cross to dummy with clubA and ruff another diamond with his last trump. He made five trumps, three aces and spadeJ for +530!
