This
deal is from the Ben Franks pairs held earlier this
month.
West
led the king of clubs to the two, four and
seven. He then switched to the five of spades
which went to the ten and king. Declarer now
played a small heart to the jack and your king and
you return a club. Declarer wins the ace and
plays the ten of hearts to partner's queen.
Partner cashes the queen of clubs, everyone
following and plays the thirteenth club. How
do you defend?

You
can see that declarer has no more losers outside
trumps, if partner has the diamond king it is
onside. You have to hope that partner's trumps
were originally Q9x so ruff with the ace of
hearts. You make four trump tricks and two
club tricks to beat the contract. See below
for the full deal.
