South could have prevailed byleading a low heart from his hand attrick four! East can win and shift to adiamond, but South ducks and allowsWest to win his jack. No return byWest matters, but say he shifts to aheart.

CAN YOU SPOT IT?

Both vulnerable. South deals.

The bidding:SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST2♣ Pass 2♦ Pass2NT Pass 3♥* Pass3♠ Pass 3NT Pass4♠ Pass Pass Pass*Transfer, five or more spades

Opening lead: 10 of ♠

South won the opening spade leadin hand and cashed two more hightrumps, noting the poor split. Hereasoned that, if he ruffed a heart todraw the last trump, the opponentswould be able to cash enough hearts

to defeat him when they won the aceof clubs.

Declarer decided to play on clubsimmediately. East ducked the firstclub, won the second, and gave Westa club ruff. West exited with a heartand South had to rely on the diamondfinesse. Down one.

Declarer was certainly unlucky, buthe could have made his contract. Canyou spot how?

South could have prevailed byleading a low heart from his hand attrick four! East can win and shift to adiamond, but South ducks and allowsWest to win his jack. No return byWest matters, but say he shifts to aheart. South ruffs in dummy anddraws the last trump, discarding thequeen of diamonds from hand.Declarer is now out of trumps but hehas retained first-round control inboth red suits.
