* solid spade suit

. . . but the defence can take 500 with an inspired defence.. South must start with a spade and North must continue the suit. East ruffs and leads heartK. South wins and leads a low club without attempting to "cash" any diamonds. If East ducks then North wins clubQ to lead another spade, promoting heart10 for South. Alternatively declarer can rise with clubA to avoid the trump promotion, but now he loses two club tricks.
