Any particular high card is more likely than not to be in his band. It is true he may have doubled on Ace, King of Spades and Ace of Clubs, but he could hardly hope for a trick in Spades, and, therefore, there is a slight presumption that he holds the King of Hearts.

East was void, and North flased. the slam..
Now It is Imposalble to be dog- He-matic in such a case as this, but the better play would have been to take. the finesse. West by his double gave the "clue." If West had not doubled it would have been a pure guess whether to finesse or try to drop the King.
