West ruffs the third round of clubs with a HIGH trump!!! South regains the lead and leads a trump, but now West plays the ten and East overtakes with the jack. West ruffs a fourth round of clubs with his remaining heart and East's heart9 becomes the setting trick!

Could any sane West be expected to find that defence?
