My partner Nick Stevens ruffed the third heart in dummy and South discarded a diamond. Nick cashed two top spades to see North show out on the second round. After cashing clubA to find what the club situation was, Nick simply played two more rounds of trumps to put South on lead. Now there was no way for South to prevent declarer accessing dummy for the club finesse. Ten tricks and 620 to East-West.
