If trumps break 4-2 as is likely, trying to draw them will result in losing control. But there is a line available that covers this possibility. Trump the second diamond. Win AS. Win AH. Overtake QS. Run hearts. Conceeding two trumps to the opponents along with their AD. Making 4 if trumps break no worse than 4-2.
