		<description><![CDATA[2 hearts, 7 diamonds, 3 clubs = 12 tricks. Win diamond in hand, ruff spade. Heart to ace, ruff spade. Ruff a club (!!). Draw trump. You now hold :S KQT8, :H 7, and 8 tricks in hand. Dummy holds :H Qx and :C AKQ. West holds :H KJT :C 96. East is irrelevant (probably holds spades).

Now lead the :H 7. Assuming West goes up with the K, he must return a heart (to Q, then win :C AKQ), or club (to clubs).  If he does not go up, you go up with the Q and win the clubs, yielding the final trick.  

I guess this is sort of a dentist coup (extracting the spades from W&#039;s hand so he must exit to give you the entry on board you need)?  Not sure this is the line that I&#039;d take at the table, but it seems to be a pretty high percentage line if you know West only has 2 spades for any reason (just requires :H K onside, so 50-50 at least).]]></description>
