Partner played a heart to my A. As I idly cashed both spades, I realized declarer might be squeezed! Let's fill in declarer's hand:
--
QJxx
--
Kx

He follows to the first heart. Pitches a heart and a club on two spades. And on the DT, he's toast!

I cash the DT. Declarer painlessly discards a small heart. He started with the HK. LAME. THAT'S A 2533 15 COUNT AND OPENS 1NT, COME ON.

Oh I guess the actual hand is also a 15 count 2533 WHATEVER OKAY
