Stanford 1/11

Watched my friend play this one. You reach 4H after (1S) - 2H - (2S) - 4H

LHO leads a diamond spot (it was high, I don't remember the details, sorry)

Thanks to the lead, if diamonds are 3-3, we have a shot to make it. But even if they're 4-2...

Diamond to the J and K, CAK, club ruff, all follow. DA, DQ, RHO ruffs low, overruff. Club Q, LHO shows out (phew!), ruff in dummy. Top diamond, now RHO is down to AK of hearts and has no winning answer.

This needed friendly trumps, clubs 3=4 and diamonds 4=2, or just diamonds 3-3, but it worked!

Funny that we played this hand just last night, and just this morning I see a similar hand posted on BBF here:
