Bridge Deal of the Week (Jun 23 2006)

Problem:

The Auction:
West   North   East   South
                       pass     1♠
pass      2♠      dbl       4♠
all pass

You are East on this deal, opponents are vulnerable and you are not. Having passed initially, you decide to make a takeout double over North's 2♠. Your other alternative would have been to overcall 3♥. In any case, South's 4♠ ends the auction. Partner leads the ♦4, playing 3rd-5th leads. You play the Ace, declarer follows with the King, an obvious singleton. What do you return?

Hint:
You know that declarer is getting two discards on the Queen and Jack of Diamonds, so you have to take your tricks as soon as possible.
