Despite the slight risk of South ruffing, it's much better technique to duck in this type of situation. It tightens up any future end position and South is definitely kept off lead via the club suit. North kindly continues with a low club instead of switching to a diamond, so you win and cash heartA - both defenders following. Back to you.
