Opening lead: A

West continued with a spade to East's king. How would you play it?

After ruffing the second trick, you should lead a low trump from your hand. If trumps are 3-2, there's no problem, but if they're 4-1, you can still do it!

East wins the third trick with a trump honor and his best play is another spade lead. This time ruff in dummy (leaving two trumps in dummy and the A-7 in your hand) and lead a trump, letting it ride if East plays low. If West has a second trump and wins the trick, he can't hurt you. A fourth spade can be ruffed in dummy and you can come to your hand to draw the last trump.

If East covers the second trump lead from dummy, you win and see the 4-1 split. Now cash three clubs and two diamonds, followed by club leads from dummy. If East ruffs low, you can overruff and continue with diamond leads.
