You win the second ♠ and play your ♣Q. West covers with the ♣K. What do you do next? You DUCK. If you take the ♣A now you will never get back to dummy to enjoy those other ♣s. So let West have the ♣K. You win his return, (probably a ♠), and play ♣J, then ♣9 to dummy's ♣A. As long as ♣s split 3-2 you will get the three winners you need. Click NEXT for the complete Deal.
