No, this is not one of those deals where you have to drop the singleton king of trumps offside. You run spade10 successfully and draw the trumps in three rounds. heartK allows dummy's diamond to disappear and you ruff diamond9 to lead clubJ from the table. How will you play the clubs when South plays low?
