The opening lead of the diamond queen was won by declarer with the ace, and a diamond trumped in dummy with the deuce of hearts. A small heart was returned and wan with the nine. The five of diamonds was trumped in dummy with the queen of hearts, the seven of hearts was led back, East showed out und South won the trick with the ten. The nine of diamonds was trumped with the king of hearts.
