Help
I'm sure that West had trouble simulating hands for South, but if South's small club were a small spade he'd still have 5 diamond tricks and 4 club tricks, so West should be perfectly happy to cash ♠A at Trick 5.

I understand this lol. Because south opens 1nt, so GIB assumes he has at least 2 spades. As north discards a C on the 4th heart, west "thinks" south has no way to discard his "second" S, so he plays a dia on trick 5. Gib is greedy, that is true!

Does not compute - I can't hold the ace of spades if South has 15 plus HCP.

What are you talking about? West wins Trick #4, which is four tricks for his side. He is looking at the ♠A in his hand. He just needs to put it on the table for Trick 5.
