Again, holding only half the ponts, but the fortutous lie of heart honors and the
complete flatness of the defensive hands allows
North/South to make
4 ♠.
A spade lead is won by the ace, and declarer finesses against the heart king and
jack. Crossing back with the
♣ A, hearts are finessed again. Then a
diamond is pitched from North on a third heart. Finally, the ace of diamonds is led,
and then the minor suits are cross-ruffed for ten tricks.
