The first three boards of the set I watched yesterday were (or should have been) boring flat games. Then along comes this one:

Scoring: IMP

P 1♠ 3♣ 3♥
3♠ P 5♣ 5♦
P P 6♣ 6♦
x P P P


(3C was a "very sound" weak jump; 3S a good raise in clubs)

[Edit: a club is led to RHO's 10, which you ruff - thanks Gerben!]

Looking at a double void, your main concern is usually to play the hand. That you have achieved, and - if the heart finesse is right - you even have a chance to make this. However, there is one minor difficulty. What is it? How do you overcome it?

Spoiler

The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

Ugh, how am I getting into dummy...

Did my spots really have to be that good? I guess I'll lead the ♦Q and overtake with the K...
