The 2♥ bid was a transfer to spades. north’s 3♠ showed six spades and game invitation. despite a minimum INT, the three-card spade support, the ruffing potential in club and three aces persuaded south to bid to game. If 4♠ failed, no doubt north and south would blame each other for overbidding.
West leads the ♣K, which is allowed to hold. south wins the ♣Q continuation and leads a spade to the king. When West discards a club on this, you have a sure trump loser. Dummy’s heart is led at trick four and East wins with the ♥A. East’s club return is ruffed by you. How do you play from here?
The declarer continued with the ♥J. West played low and a diamond was discarded from dummy. Judging that West would have heart length and that the ♥K was unlikely to drop on the next round,declarer continued with the ♥Q, king from West, ruffed in dummy. When the ♥10 dropped, south’s ♥9 was high. After a spade to the Ace, and the ♦A was cashed, followed by the ♥9, on which dummy’s last diamond was discarded. East could ruff, but, dummy had the rest of tricks.
Good judgement.
