The Venezuelan International sitting West led clubK and must have had that sinking feeling when he saw dummy, but at least he hadn't doubled! After East had followed with club8, South won with the ace, cashed spadeK and successfully finessed spadeJ, East echoing once again. Declarer then led diamond9 from the dummy, low from East, low from declarer and . now it's your turn.
