In Arnaud's own words ....
I think now that LHO must have clubQ and not the jack as he might have led one .... and either heartK or the two missing queens. I close my eyes and play heart6. Gosh my nine holds - now it is easy. A heart to the ace and because RHO must have diamondQ I play a small diamond to the jack. It is a shame I cannot finesse twice due to lack of entries... so I just hope again. diamondA noting the nine fall from RHO, diamond to the king, discard my last club on dummy's winning diamond and crossruff for ten well deserved tricks and a rewarding +620.
Bien joue Monsieur Olivari!
