Declarer begins with the
HQ, squeezing East in all
suits. East dislikes the prospects of discarding the DQ, knowing
West will be finessed.
Conceding a Club also looks hopeless so East
discards the SQ, hoping
West controls the suit (true here).
South continues with the
CK,
this time squeezing West to play the
D9; North's
S6, the
last outstanding Spade, is a known threat card which forces West
to hold the SK. Declarer
can now run Diamonds.
