In this bridge vignette Willy Nilly fails in a greed driven contract after taking the diamond ace and heart lead. West limits the strike by winning the ace and ruffing, while the play of spades and finessing leaves Willy vulnerable to a nine trick set. The analysis explores lines where East holds K-10 spades and how various holdings affect defense and declarer success. West might overlead trump if spades are scarce, prompting further misdirection.
