If you were tempted to bid 4spade, as I would have been, let the sight of dummy persuade you of the wisdom of passing. My friend correctly passed and his partner, North, led spadeK. Declarer wins in the dummy and discards a club, while you have followed with spade7. After ruffing another spade, North following with spade8, West puts diamondK on the table.

What do you do when you win with the ace?
