Second-hand high in a pivotal bridge deal
North opens with J 10 in spades and four heart contract. West leads spades. East peels Q and A then third spade. Declarer gains in diamonds and ruffs, but if East switches to second-hand high at trick four, the defense can force a down result. The deal shows when second-hand high can beat a contract. West passes.
