It's difficult to know how to bid this lot, but imagine you and your partner reach 7club by the agricultural route. Partner remembers that he has a vital phone call to make and you go round the table to become declarer. How would you play on diamond7 lead from West? East drops diamondQ under dummy's ace and it all looks very good until he discards heart3 under dummy's clubA. Take it from here.
