When South led diamondJ from hand at trick four . West played the ten!!!!!!!! Declarer was after an overtrick, and thinking that the diamonds had to be 2-2, played the ace fully expecting the queen to drop from East. Imagine the shock - with no outside entry to dummy the diamond suit was dead! South was eventually two off. No doubt this was sloppy play by declarer but top marks to West for gtiving South the chance to go wrong.
