East hesitates a little before following with the nine.
Whats your best line of play?

********************************************************************
The obvious line is to hope clubs are three-three or the person with
short clubs has short spades. But first draw two rounds of trumps.
If they split 3-2, there is now a better line available which needs 4-3
hearts to succeed. Win AH. Rough a heart. KD. Rough a heart. QD. Rough
a heart. AD pitching a club. AC. Cash heart.
