My hand: ♠ K Q T ♥ K Q 7 4 ♦ 5 ♣ J 8 5 3 2
East opens 1 spade and West responds 1NT. East continues with 2 diamonds. I double. Hopefully since I didn't double the first time and did double this time partner can divine short diamonds and not so short spades. West bids 3 diamonds, partner bids 3 hearts, and East goes to 5 diamonds which gets passed out. I lead the K of hearts.

K-A-9-9 of clubs. Declarer now draws trump. 3-T-A-5. 2-2 of clubs-K-J. Now declarer shifts to a spade, presumably trying to set up his long spades in hand. 6-5-J-Q. Unless partner has the A of spades he can now go A and ruff a spade, setting up 2 spades in hand. I can't tap him out at this point. So I have to hope partner can cash two club tricks here. I lead a club. 8-6-A-T. Q-K-3-7. Oh well. Declarer does play A and ruff a spade and is up. Making 5.

On the replay my hand stays silent. They get to 5 diamonds anyway. My hand leads the K of hearts. They lose the same two tricks for just in.
