Since that indicated an Honor in the suit East inserted the Jack and when that won. Continued with the Ace of the suit. On these two tricks Declarer produced the eight and ten of clubs. Had West followed routinely wit the six of clubs on the second round East would have been faced with an insoluble problem. Was Declarer false carding with a third club in which Case the defenders had to Cash another club or had West started with four clubs in which Case it would be Correct to revert to hearts East might still have been sitting there trying to find a solution had it not been for the fact West was a cooperative partner. On the Ace of clubs West jettisoned the King with the club suit now useless East had no difficulty reverting to hearts and West s Ruff was the setting trick.
