On preceding tricks,
declarer's play was straight forward, not needing to rectify the count.
Now declarer needs three tricks to make the contract.
South plays the
menacing H10,
squeezing the vice on West who pitches the
CJ anticipating East
has the CA; the Dummy's
S10 is pitched on the
trick. South follows with the
C7, catching honors
CQ,
CK, and
CA. Dummy's
C10 and SA are now winners.
