With 6 spades and 8 HCP, South has enough to invite game, so bids 2 ♠. North
is minimum and declines the invitation.
Lead is ♦ 2 from the longest and strongest suit. Declarer draws trumps and
plays West, the opener, for the ♣ Q. Therefore play the ♣ K then ♣ 10 and
let it run if West
does not cover with the Q♣.
