Bridge Deal of the Week (Nov 30 2012)

Problem: The Auction:

This was a competitive auction, although the final contract is a humble partscore. East opened with 1♦, West responded with 1♥, North passed and East bid 1NT. As no one is vulnerable you seized the opportunity to chime in and bid clubs. West answered with 2♦, North raised to 3♣ and East doubled.

West leads the ♠4. Plan the play to score nine tricks.

Hint:

Clubs will supply six tricks and as you have two aces, you only need to find one extra trick. Setting up spades or hearts should provide this trick.
