The Auction:

West	North	East	South
	Pass	Pass	1NT
Pass	2NT	Pass	3NT
all pass

After an uneventful auction South declares 3NT.

West leads the ♦3. The declarer plays a small diamond from dummy, East plays the ♦10 and South takes the first trick with the ♦Q.

We ask you to take the seat of South – how are you going to proceed?

Contract: 3NTS

Vulnerable: none

Keep in mind that the worst distributions do occur, therefore always keep open as many entry points as possible.
