This hand is really easy and the lure of ruffing should be avoided. This hand will play itself. All you have to do is draw trumps in tow rounds followed by the Diamond Ace to get rid of your Spade loser and then merely lead up the dummy’s Hearts. If West doesn’t take his Ace immediately then the lucky lie of the hearts breaking 3:3 will mean that declarer will be able to make all thirteen tricks. However West goes in with his Ace and plays a second Heart, trying to bring an end to this hand as quickly and as painlessly as possible J.
Declarer will make 5 trumps, 1 Diamond, 5 Hearts and 1 Spade and despite dummy’s void and declarer’s singleton, nothing needs to get ruffed.
