There are few players who can resist the temptation while declarer winds up "stealing" his unmakable game. North would have been better off if he had overcalled one heart instead of doubling.

At hearts, on diamond ruff in dummy yields 10 tricks and an easier game. In actual play, North doubled and East jammed the bidding by his jump to three diamonds, so South (Grant Baze of San Francisco) wound up in his unmakable spade game. West started with the queen of diamonds which declarer won with thp king. A low spade was led to dummy and East took a cheap trick with his trump nine a trick that would prove most expensive. East led a diamond to dummy's ace and another spade was led.

East won the king and knocked out dummy's club ace. Unfortunately for the defense it was all over as declarer proceeded to run the hearts. West could ruff whenever he wished, but a trump remained in dummy for a quick entry to the high hearts and the defense could manage only three trump tricks. The winning defense was most difficult to find. Instead of winning the first trick with the trump nine.

East must win with the king and knock out dummy's club ace.
