North was part that South had not drawn two rounds of Trumps. However the defense can still prevail. East must refuse to of snuff the third Spade. When Declarer tries to come off Dummy with a minor East wins and draws a third Trump. That leaves Dummy with Only one Trump to take care of two Black suit losers and the contract is a amp in Defeated. However the contract is not difficult to make.

Tvo clubs can then be ruffed safety in Dummy and if East Over ruffs the fourth Spade it is with a natural Trump trick. Declarer loses Only one trick in each suit except clubs.
