Declarer ran this round to his queen, cashed clubA, ruffed a club and drew trumps in two rounds. heartJ lost to North's queen and diamondJ return was covered by the queen and king. diamond8 from South was covered by West's nine and North's ten, but the end-play had been avoided when South was able to win the third round of diamonds with the seven.
