Souths bold play to secure contract in no trump

In a bridge deal South faced a first trick decision after West led spades. He correctly played the king to grab the lead, then led diamonds from dummy to force East to play low, enabling South to win multiple diamond tricks and, with careful timing, secure five tricks and the contract. South avoided the natural line that would let East capture the needed tricks and instead counted on spade and club tricks to reach nine.
