[hv=d=s&v=b&n=saj753hq6daqj74ck&s=skt96ht854d2cj752]133|200|Scoring: IMP

P - (1NT)* - 2** - (P)

2 - (P) - 3 - (P)

4 - All Pass[/hv]

*13-15

**Spades and another

 

You end up in 4 and West leads the A and K of hearts, East playing the 7 and the 2. West shifts to the 4 and dummy's K is taken by East's A. East then shifts to the 3. You play a low club, West plays the 10 and you ruff in dummy. You lead a low trump from dummy and East shows out!

 

Plan the play from here.

 

Note that although the hand is close to double dummy, it is quite difficult.

I couldn't find any other way but playing west having:

 

Q842

AKJ

Kxx

QT4

 

so win the king, take a diamond finesse, diamond A and diamond ruff low,

now spade 10, west has to cover, win Ace ruff another diamond, and

west gets squeezed on this trick... I can then continue with a winner in the

suit that west discards and finish the trump coup.
