(NB After South Doubles North buck passes with 3 ♦ to say please choose a Major)
You start to draw trumps and on the second round West shows out. If you were to continue drawing all the trumps at this point you would lose control of the hand so you have to stop and turn your attention to your second Suit (here Hearts).
After winning the second trump in dummy you lead a Heart from dummy knowing that East is more likely to have the Ace Heart after West's 2¨ Opening bid. East cannot afford to play it and your Queen wins the tricks. You now lead a second heart from dummy intending to finesse your 10 but up pops the the Jack and East wins with the Ace. East plays back a Diamond which you are able to ruff. You now draw one more trump leaving the master out with East and cash all your winning Hearts.
You win 3 trumps, 4 Hearts 1 Diamond and 2 clubs losing 1 Diamond, 1 Heart and 1 Spade.
