The spade king was opened, ful-; lowed by the ace, and Wed then shifted to a club. Declarer drew the adverse trumps, and then took the diamond finesse to the jack, not caring very much whether it lost or not. He figured, of course, that the rest of the diamonds would be good in any event, but he was wrong. Not only did the Jack lose to West's mond king.
