North and South reached four hearts on a reasonable sequence of bids. After West inserted a one spade overcall, North freely raised his partner to two hearts. Adding one point for the promoted king of hearts, his hand revalues to 16 dummy points.

Perhaps South should merely have bid three hearts at this point since West's vulnerable overcall has tended to diminish the value of the spade king. However, North would probably carry on to game himself. West, deciding that aggressive measures were in order, attacked with the queen of diamonds. Declarer ducked in dummy and East, impressed with his partner's resourcefulness, gave vent to his emotions by cheering loudly with the nine of diamonds. By that simple gesture he presented South with the game contract, for declarer was quick to take advantage of the slip.

Proper tactics on the part of East would have been to overtake the queen of diamonds with the king and return a spade. When two tricks are cashed in that suit the defense merely waits for the diamond trick which declarer cannot avoid losing. When the diamond was continued at trick two, declarer won in dummy, cashed the ace and king of clubs, and ruffed a club with the ace of hearts. He then crossed to the dummy with a trump and ruffed the remaining club with the queen of hearts. He entered dummy with a trump, exhausting the enemy of that suit in the process.

He then led a spade from dummy and covered the card played by East. West was able to cash two spades but, compelled by circumstances to lead a third spade, he enabled declarer to ruff in his own hand as he discarded the losing diamond from dummy.
