You win 1t with the nine spot in dummy, lead 8 small heart and ruff it, ruff a diamond in dummy lead another small heart and trump it.
 Now you can still get into the dummy by ruffing another diamond and all the hearts are good.
 Looks simple, but Cylvia did not take the king of clubs when the queen was led. She played a small club. Now try and make it. Sure, yod can pick up Sylvia's kirg of clubs with your ace but you have not enough entries into dummy to eStab- fish that heart suit
