J and led a low spade. It was an agonising decision for East - should he rise with A to capture declarer's lone jack - or was it just a ruse with declarer having no spades? Maybe East should have got this one right. Looking at it from declarer's point of view - how would South play if he did have the lone J. Surely it would be madness to try to slip a spade through - better odds would be to find West with Qxx, when a diamond discard would be available from dummy. Nevertheless East rose with A, South ruffed and eventually pitched two diamonds on KQ. This result had the effect of giving North-South overall victory. Had East played low at trick three then East-West would have been the overall winners.
