KQJAgainst a solid pair (udca carding) that I usually self-destruct against ( a jinx? my bete noir?), I held the South cards, and with opponents silent, the bidding went ONE SPADE - TWO DIAMONDS - TWO SPADES - FOUR SPADES. The lead was the Ace of diamonds. RHO played the nine. LHO shifted to the three of clubs. I win in dummy, E contributing the Ten. Spade King, 5,6,2 and on the next spade, the 4-1 break comes to light as E discards the 5 of clubs. I put in the Jack losing to the trump Queen. W persists with the club 7, dummy winning, E playing the 9.
West has shown up with the DAK and the SQ and he has passed. I need him to hold the HJ and his partner the HK. I proceed to ruff a diamond in hand, and I play the trump Ace, and exit with a trump, pitching the heart 7. West is on lead in this position.

West has no safe exit. He tried a small heart and when the ten forced the King, I could claim.
An elegant partial elimination (clubs) and endplay (iin trump).
This effort in a IMP pairs won us +6.7 IMPs on the board.
