As I get older nothing surprises me any more.
When I watched this hand being played Declarer proceeded to go 2 down in an ice cold contract. It appears he was a member of the "Always Brigade" and always drew trumps. Here that would prove to be a very big mistake.
After drawing two rounds of trumps you see the trumps breaking 4:1.
In order to make this contract you will have to make 4 trumps, 5 Clubs and 1 ruff.
When you discover the trumps have broken 4:1 now ruff a Heart before clearing the other two trumps next.
Now you will make 4 trump tricks, 5 club tricks, and 1 Heart ruffed.
