  South is to play 3NT. West leads the K.

Winners:   ♠ = 3    = 1    = 0   ♣ = 4   Total = 8

Unless there is a miracle in the s, (or a defensive error), you can't get a trick in that suit. But you have a chance for a second trick.

It's the Bath Coup again, just dressed up a little differently.

Let West hold the first trick, playing the 7 from your hand to conceal the 4 in the hope that West will continue the suit. If he does you have your ninth trick - if he doesn't, good luck.
