The article analyzes a bridge hand from a North-South vulnerable contest, detailing bidding cues and declarer technique. South drives to slam after North’s jump bid, West leads spades, declarer tests diamond ruffs and clubs, and, despite the king of diamonds not dropping, executes a sequence to establish a spade discard and finalize the slam.
