You ruff the opening diamond lead on the table, cash the K and close your eyes and finesse the J, phew it holds but the bad news is west shows out. It's our old friend the trump reduction. Cash A & K East drops the Q and trump a club, cross to a heart and just play clubs. East refuses to ruff and we pitch 2 diamonds and 1 heart coming down to AJ K. When we try to get off dummy with a heart east ruffs and down we go, where did we go wrong?
After ruffing a club we crossed to dummy with a heart, that was the mistake, we should have played K and another heart ending on the table and then played clubs, try it it works.
