WEST LED QUEEN OF SPADE:
On the lead North played small, East played 9 of spades, South played small West continued the Jack. North again played small East followed the suit South ruffed with five of hearts. South went into a deep thought as to how to eliminate a trump loser than he relied on necessary assumption of favourable distribution of cards with the opponents. The only way that could make a nearly impossible contract after having lost to the ace of spades.
South played a small club to the dummy's king and played another small spade and ruffed in hand and now at this stage the South won the ace, king and queen of diamonds ending in dummy and played the king of spade ruffed in hand with 8 of hearts now he cashed ace king of clubs and played the 9 of clubs. The West was helpless but to ruffed with the queen, which the dummy over ruffed with the king, now the 9 of hearts was played from the dummy and finesses the 10 of hearts and that was the end of the story. Thus the South made a little slam in hearts by expert handling of the card and caused to evaporate a certain loser a trump trick by superb maneuver of heart suit.
