At the table West did well at the fourth trick. Placing South with heart length because of the singleton spade, she led a low heart from the dummy and took a deep finesse of the nine - which held! By conceding a spade at this juncture the winner count was brought up to eleven. How would you have completed the job when North wins spadeJ to return a diamond to dummy's ace?
