You let partner's jack ride around to declarer's king. Declarer plays a diamond to the ace and then a diamonds back to the 9, partner winning the king. Partner now leads a small heart, which rides around to declarer's 10 and declarer leads another heart to the 9 on the board. You might as well win. What now?
