My hand: ♠ A 3 ♥ 7 5 3 2 ♦ Q T 6 5 4 ♣ T 7
East opens 1 spade in 4th chair. I pass, as does West, and partner bids 1NT which I guess has to show a balanced 11-12 count? East jumps to 3 clubs. I pass, West corrects to 3 spades, and everyone passes.
I lead the T of clubs.
| WEST ♠ T 7 ♥ T 9 8 6 4 ♦ K 8 7 ♣ Q 8 4 | ||
| SOUTH ♠ A 3 ♥ 7 5 3 2 ♦ Q T 6 5 4 ♣ T 7 |
| West | North | East | South |
| Pass | |||
| Pass | Pass | 1♠ | Pass |
| Pass | 1NT | 3♣ | Pass |
| 3♠ | Pass | Pass | Pass |
I wonder why he corrected to spades when he had an extra club. At any rate, T-4-2-A. Declarer draws trump. Q-A-7-4. I fire out my last club. 7-Q-6-3. So much for a ruff. Declarer draws trump. T-J-K-3. 2-4 of diamonds-4 of hearts-6. Partner draws trump. 9-5-2 of hearts-6 of hearts.
Partner shifts to a heart. Q-A-3-8. Declarer shifts to a diamond. 3-5-K-A. Partner shifts to a club. J-K-5 of hearts-8. Declarer is up. Making 3.

Professor Jack agrees with me all the way! Three in a row!
On the replay the bidding is identical. The play is different but it again doesn't matter. Making 3.
