South felt that the choice of leading dummy's implied suit suggested that West had a good spade holding - after all, why had had West not led diamonds? After winning with heartQ at trick one he next led a low spade. West went in with spade10 and continued hearts so declarer crossed to dummy with clubA and led a spade, ducking when East played the jack. A low diamond was returned, so how would you have brought home the game?
