HI Barry, Folks,

Hold on a moment though – after West takes the DQ with the K, he exits with a heart which South (wins. Now how does South (after cashingthe SA) take both the D finesse and the second club finesse?

Regards,

Iain

I can answer my own Q. South takes HA and plasSA. If West dumping a diamond, then club finesse and the D drop. If West she’s a club, club finesse then Ace and another club endplayed them to lead a diamond into the J9.
