West opens with a strong No Trump and eventually becomes declarer in 3NT after East has shown a heart suit. Naturally you lead a low diamond and when dummy's queen is played partner wins with the ace and switches to ace and another heart. Declarer cashes clubQ and crosses to dummy's ace, exiting with a heart. Naturally you win and persevere with diamondJ, South following with the two. How do you defend when West exits with diamond9, South showing out?
