South ruffed. Weat discarded two diamonds (since declarer ruffed high on the led round of spades).

South now led a low heart, in- tending to ruff one heart in the dumuny later on. West stepped up with the nine of hearts to return à trump, and dummy won with the ten of clubs.

Declarer now had to get to his own Hand to ruff a heart in dummy, so he led the jack of diamonds from dummy. The stage was now set for the great coup.

East played the ace of diamands on duny's jack, This was a case of clumsiness rather thaty brilliance, for the queen of diamond happened to be hidden among East's hearts.

South ruffed the ace of diamonds and noted the fall of the eight of diamonds from the West
