Yes, that's a nice hand to fall into traps on - winning the first trick with the 10, or not overtaking the club.

How to play it in 7NT though? :) I reckon you should cash everything in the red suits + the CK and then play spades, hoping for a 3-3 spade break, a doubleton queen of clubs or a squeeze in the black suits.

7N is quite interesting. Qx would solve all problems but a 3-3 spade split does not since it only provides the 12th. A 13th can come from a 3-3 spade split and a squeeze if the hand with the Q holds five diamonds. There's a remote chance of a triple squeeze if LHO is 4=1=5=3 with the Q - I don't think it operates against RHO - he can discard a diamond and discard after dummy.

If the contract is contract 7NT by South and
West leads 5, you cash A, AKQJ, K, KQ, A, reducing to...

... this four-card ending ...
  • If Q has dropped, you can claim.
  • Otherwise, If are 3-3 , then you cash the fourth spade to squeeze either opponent who started with Q and 5+ .
  • Finally, on your birthday, either opponent, who was dealt 4+ , 5+ , and Q, is crushed in a triple-squeeze to give you two tricks.
