East unguards hearts on club7, so now South cashes heartAQ throwing the two diamonds from dummy until you reach this position - with East still to play. Again East has had it, this time caught in a deadly criss-cross squeeze and unable to keep both suits guarded.

Had South made 7club on this line of play I'm sure he would have always remembered, but now he can never forget.
