Show Detail |
You're sitting North and lead a Heart. Partner cashes ♥ A K and switches to a Club.
Declarer wins in Dummy and leads the ♠ 8 to the ♠ Q from hand. You win with your ♠ K and can now defeat the contract.
What do you lead now and much more importantly, why?

| Show Answer |
The clue is in the bidding. West's 3♣ bid shows four Clubs. You started with four in your hand and you saw four in Dummy
That means you know that partner (South) only started with one and now has none left
You must play a Club, giving partner a ruff for your fourth trick which defeats the contract. |
