This "sacrifice" is looking even better than you hoped - you can make this contract! It's one of those hands where you know a big match point score beckons, so all you need to do is get it right. The opponents are not going to let you ruff three hearts in dummy, so you might as well draw the outstanding trump. Say that you win the trump lead in hand and cross to dummy with another as East throws a club. How do play the diamonds?
