Scoring: IMP
Bidding starting with W:
(P)-1♣-(P)-1♥
(1NT*)-2♥-(2♠)-3♥-All pass
1NT: 4-4 in ♠ and ♦
3♥: No limit, only shows 5th ♥
The play:
West starts with ♠ taken by ♠A in N. ♥A from N followed by small ♥ to ♥K (West signals ♣ with the 3 - Italian).
S plays ♦T, which runs to East's ♦A.
East now plays ♥Q followed by another ♠ ruffed by S.
South plays a ♣ to the Q in North taken by East. (West did error here by not putting ♣A).
And East plays another ♠ ruffed by S. (East should not have returned ♠ here).
This is the situation:
Scoring: IMP
At this moment I know that West has 3 ♦'s left with the J and that he also has ♣A.
I play small ♦ to the K in North.
Now I play my last trump in North to squeeze West. If he throws a ♦ then I make 2 more ♦'s in S. So West discards a small ♣ and I throw him in with ♣A after which he has to bring me 2 more ♦ tricks.
