Sometimes you’re helpless
When declarer figures out your hand to the last card, there is nothing you can do if he does everything right. That what happened to West on this deal from the Mixed Pairs first qualifying session:
The opponents had bid both of his four-card suits, so West led a club away from his ace. Declarer, Mike Moss, won this with the queen, then played the diamonds correctly for four tricks. East was busy throwing away spades, so Mike decided to go for a strip and endplay. He took two spades, ending in hand, then led a heart to the king.
