West leads the ♥A and continues with the ♥K and then ♥2. East trumps and returns to the ♣3. What is South’s plan?
As South, the key is to figure out who holds the ♣A. West, a past hand, figures to have less than 12 HCP. West has turned up with the AKJ9x of hearts so West cannot hold the ♣A because that would give West 12 HCP.
