- Or diamond lead, finesse loses, diamond ruff. Or on a spade lead;

- K wins, A hearts, spade to hand, heart ruff, club to hand, heart ruff.
- Now you need to ruff a spade back to hand. If LHO had 2 you can get overruffed,
- and if you ruff high a 4-1 trump break can beat you if the diamond hook is
- also off.
