Lead low spade towards dummy. West must rise else return to hand with AS and run winners. West must exit with heart else the hand is over(run the ten spades and claim). Pitch KC from dummy and ruff in hand. Now the QC and a club back to your hand. Cash KD. Run clubs. West cannot ruff low because of the overruff, cash AS, run winners. West cannot ruff high because you win return and draw trump and claim. The three card end position is: S:T4 D:A S:K97 S:AJ D:6 Lead the diamond.
