~ good raise in hearts

In the other room West found an incredibly devilish heart9!!! East covered dummy's ten with heartJ and declarer did what 99% of us would have done - cross to dummy with a finesse of clubJ and finesse against East's "known" heartQ.

Declarer finished one down - just reward for West's daring and brilliant lead.
