Abridge hand saw the dummy's spade king win the first trick and cash the trump king. West discards while East shows a trump queen. The declarer finesses in trumps and, with a remaining trump in dummy, plays spade ace to ruff low spades. East overruffs and the slam fails by one. West then grabs a diamond trick and many points slip away.
