And I've got a little TIP for you, get the POINT?

What the title has to do with this deal will probably be missed by evereyone (possibly including myself). However, the hand took place on BBO.

 

[hv=d=w&v=n&n=sa9haq53dj93ca986&s=skqjt65hdqt82ckq2]133|200|Scoring: IMP

W N E S

1* 1NT 2 5

p 6 p 6

* supposedly 10-15, 5+[/hv]

A diamond was not led. Instead, the four of clubs (3rd/5th) lead produced the ten from East. You take the trick and try to count to twelve. Is there a way to do that?

 

(The contract failed by one trick at the table, and of course both I (who was on lead) and the declarer would tell our team mates - if we had got those - that the defence took their tricks. As for the title, it is a counter insult from a PC game The Secret of Monkey Island.)

I believe East has only K, and all the other points belong to W because of opening bid and lead.

In that case, I think by playing all trumps and all clubs (I suppose J will fall), West can be thrown-in with the A and forced to play . If he would have dropped a heart or a diamond, a trick in this suit can be developed.
