Knowing that his partner held two aces and the king of clubs, East decided to ask Quantin to try for all the tricks. North, who had given declarer no clues in the bidding, avoided one pitfall when he led a low spade. Declarer won in hand, crossed to the king of hearts and took the marked finesse. North discarded two spades, and declarer realised the suit must be 6-1. He crossed to the king of diamonds, repeated the heart finesse and drew the last trump. He went over to the ace of diamonds and ruffed a diamond, leaving South in control of that suit. These cards remained:

When Quantin cashed the last trump, North had to discard a club, and declarer could throw the ª9 from dummy. South was not in trouble on this trick, releasing the ¨9, but when declarer crossed to the ªK, he was helpless. Bien Joué!
