West started with a small club after his partner had opened 1nt "12-14 "East winning with the A and South winning the return with the K. South played a heart to the K and finessed the J on the way back losing to West who exited with a spade. Now south played East for
K & Q
¨'s playing small to the J and finessing later on to West's other doubleton Q. !Bad Luck! or was it

South was unlucky to find West with the Q because 6 heart tricks would have brought home his contract but he could have and should have got home anyway. A heart to the K ruff dummy's last club and cash K & A and !THEN! play a heart to the J,West is endplayed, a ruff and discard or open the diamonds.
