Hoping that South would have something like clubKJ9xx or clubAJ9xx and had led clubJ in an attempt to surround dummy's queen, East ducked. When the defence cashed out that was two under-tricks and a horrible match-points score for East-West.

By the way, I wonder what on earth North was doing with his 1diamond??
