of Queen spades was led for a finesse, losing to West's King, and then West returned his other trump. It was at this point

that South decided

not, to draw East's last.trump.

Instead he cashed dummy's King of clubs and discarded the low heart on dummy's Ace of dia- monds. Next the low heart was led from the dummy, and South ran his other two high hearts -- dummy discarding the low clubs. Now it was possible for South to lead a third round of clubs, while dummy ruffed out East's club Queen. A diamond ruff put South in to draw East's last trump (for now there was no longer à rea- son to allow him to hold it) and then the rest of South's cards were good.

It's true that South had to risk getling By safely with three rounds of hearts and two rounds of clubs while still leaving trump at large; but normal breaks would allow his plan to succeed.
