Note that even with a six card suit North preferred properly to play for the nine trick contract rather than the minor suit game. Against three no Trump West led a fourth Best Spade. Declarer made the right technical play of the Jack covered by the Queen and taken by the King. Had Declarer played Low from Dummy East a Correct play would have been the nine at the table we watched matters were decided quickly. Declarer cashed the King of clubs and then finessed losing to the Queen and ended up with Only six tricks. Declarer could have combined his chances in the minor suits. Suppose that at trick two South had led the ten of clubs to the tables Jack. East cannot win because that gives Declarer the whole club suit. Now South can use that extra entry to Dummy to take the Diamond finesse. When that succeeds Declarer continues by overtaking the King of clubs with the Ace. If the Queen Falls Declarer is going for Over tricks. When the lady does not appear Declarer repeats the Diamond finesse and then cashes the Ace.
