One declarer ruffed a club at trick two, cashed diamondAK, ruffed a diamond and ruffed a second club. South was reluctant to pitch diamondQ on this trick, and that was her undoing. West ruffed his last diamond in dummy and a third club in hand to come down to five cards. Exiting with a heart to South, West ruffed the heart return and with spadeKJ9 remaining was assured of a further trick. West scored +590.
