The outcome of the game would be decided on this hand, and a pass here surely would give the game away. Experienced players understand the reason clubs wasn’t called, was simply put, neither opponent had any strength in black. Now the pressure was on first seat. There was only one logical call, and that was spades. The challenge was to play the hand correctly.
Going under the assumption that seat 3 (the partner) had the right, first led the spade nine. As it turned out, the dealer had the right and over trumped the partners left. The dealer led back the heart queen, first sloughed the diamond nine again giving the partner a chance to take the trick. Once again, he was unable to help. Having taken the heart trick, second seat leads the diamond queen. This is trumped by the dealer, using their king.
As the opponents already had two trick, first had little choice but to over-trump with the ace. The club ace was the turn card, leaving the king as boss.
