A
defensive problem from a Crockford's Plate match.
After
North had overcalled one notrump, South used
non-promissory Stayman to show a raise to two
notrump.
Partner leads the jack of hearts and declarer plays
low from table.
What
is your plan?
Solution Partner has struck gold. He has at least five hearts headed by the jack and ten. You must overtake the first heart to avoid blocking the suit and be careful to cash your spade ace before playing the third heart as, if partner is void in spades, you may never get your spade trick.

full
deal
