In 1989 North made the fateful lead of club7. Declarer played low from dummy and South, thinking that North's lead was a singleton, went in with the king. West ruffed, cashed spadeAK, ruffed a spade, ruffed a club and crossed back to heartK. clubQ was now led from dummy, pinning North's jack and allowing declarer to cross back to dummy with heartQ to ditch a diamond from hand on dumy's club10. East-West plus 790.
