 Afteh South had bid clubs and spades, believe that North should try for the no trump, instead of bidding the diamonds. South had told his partner that there was no real advantage in becoming the de- clarer at no trump.

 Here is where the declarer made his mistake-he led the jack of hearts from dummy, while the proper play from dummy would have been smart heart. If small heart is played, the ten spot is fineesed, West wins with the king and returns a diamond.
 Declarer then can win with the ace in dummy. and lead another heart. going up with the ace in his own hand.
