Answer: - Cash one high spade in hand to make sure you can afford to ruff things without establishing a trump trick for the opponents. Then, assuming all follow, cash the high hearts, come to clubA, ruff a heart with the spade8, ruff a diamond, ruff the last heart, ruff a diamond, draw trumps, and claim. Total chances of this line of play being successful are above 75%.
