#9: Maui Wowie

You and your partner, needing to kill some time on Hawaii's famous isle, find yourselves at the Tuesday Evening duplicate in the beachfront (aren't they all?) community of Kihei.
Partner finds the good lead of the
9. You play off three rounds of
trumps as partner follows to the second one, then discards the
2. Declarer wins in hand and
runs the
J, west playing the nine and
dummy the three.
Plan the defense, and be forewarned: your communication skills will need to be state-of-the-art.
