Playing in the penultimate round of the Swiss League at the HCL 2018 Teams event, you are dealt ♠752♥A6♦AK94♣AK53 as South. After a brisk auction you land in 3NT, and receive the lead of a low club. The sight of dummy – ♠A964♥J1052♦Q106♣64 – confirms that a fair bit of hard work will be required to bring home the contract.
