 North could not be blamed for his penalty double, with a partner strong enough to open the bidding and show a second suit, after North had passed.
 South opened the king of spades. and, despite the strong spades showing in dummy, continued with the ace. Here East made the play that assured him the safety of his contract.
 Instead of ruffing, as many play CTS would do. he discarded his los- ing diamond. putting a loser on a loser. By making this play, he fulfilled his contract, evetually los- ing e trump trick.
