* big spade fit

. . . when West shows out on spadeA North should cash clubA and clubK immediately. When West fails to follow to the king, North ruffs a club, enters hand with heartA and finesses spade10. After cashing spadeQ, declarer returns to hand with a diamond ruff, draws the last trump and claims. The only reason thirteen tricks are not made is that heartQ doesn't come down and dummy is squeezed in the red suits before West.
