He ruffs a spade in hand at trick three, and follows by taking three club ruffs in dummy and three more in hand. By this stage he is down to diamondK10 clubQ and just cuts adrift with clubQ. South may have been dealt diamondQ43 and become end-played, but otherwise it will be a case of hoping that North has the queen. Declarer has enough time to change tack if clubK comes down in three rounds.
