The contract bidding would be South one club, West pass, North one heart. South would then bid one spade. Here we have two one

Some players would now make the mistake of leading a heart to decierer's ace so 'ns to take, the club finesse, but you can see that regardless of the distribution club trick must be lost, therefore the proper play is to lose it im- mediately and the five of clubs should be played from dummy.
