What bladderboy didn't say was how he played the hand. HE won the spade JACK opening lead, and tested clubs, discovering the bad news. He crossed to dummy in spades, and then ducked a diamond to north (correcting the count). North continued spade and south didn't play the spade TEN, so bb knew where the spade TEN was living, along with the long clubs. He then cashed his diamond and red cards to execute a black card squeeze against South. The squeeze position was...[hv=n=sht9djc&w=shdtck7&e=s3hadc8&s=sthdcj9]399|300|[/hv]

 

When the heart ACE was played, South had to crumble. The key to the hand was to correct the count by ducking a diamond. Well, done.

Nice bidding mate, people tend to forget the 5 level quantitative.
