Had East known Tommy better, the futility of the double might have been obvious. But West nad opened the bidding and East expected to make at least one trump trick, so West led the king of diamonds, then shifted to a low heart when East started an echo with the jack, won in dummy with the ace. The queen of trumps was led, covered by the king and taken with the ace as West followed. A heart trick was conceded, and the heart continuation was ruffed in dummy. The seven of trumps was covered with the eight and won in the closed hand.

When West showed out, the distribution became an open book. A club to dummy provided the entry for a diamond ruff in the closed hand, and three rounds of clubs, ending on the table, produced the desired ending. Tommy was poised with 5 of spades over East's 9 4 and a diamond from the board completed the coup, allowing declarer to score both trumps at the end and 11 tricks in all.
