Stanford 8/4

A simple one.

We deal and have T AQxxx AQ7x Kxx.

1H - (2C) - 2H - (p)
p - (3C) - all pass

Partner leads the DT, we get

------AJxx
------xxx
------98xxxx
------ void
-----------------T
-----------------AQxxx
-----------------AQ7x
-----------------Kxx

The diamond is obviously singleton. Before giving the diamond ruff though, we need to lead a spade. Partner might not have an entry outside, and since we have Kxx of clubs, we know we can win the second round of clubs, give a diamond ruff and receive a spade ruff in return. 2 aces, CK, and 2 ruffs for -1.
