Partner decided to opt to Double over the weak 2 rather than 2NT and once I bid Diamonds he tried 3NT

He was very good at counting winners bringing the total to 7 by way of 4 Spades, 1 Heart and 2 clubs

 At trick two played a Club to his Jack on table which won. He  now played  a second Heart trick for his 9th trick.

He eventually made 4 Spades, 2 Hearts and 3 Clubs.

(NB With the power of the J10 in dummy and the Ace in hand there is no point in holding up the first round)

 

  You can also play out the following hand  to see how the hand pans out. (You need bridgvu.exe programme  and it is available free from   http://www.haroldschogger.com/movies.html )
