east overtakes with the ten of spades.
east opened the auction with a call of 1S.

Whats your best line of play?

Hint:Its clear where the key honor cards are residing on this deal. Is there
a distribution which will allow you to make the hand anyway? The obvious
possibility is a stiff KC. Very unlikely though. Are there any other holdings
that suffice and are a little more likely? Yes there is. Give East five spades
and a stiff heart. Prospects arent exciting but you do have a chance. How do
you now proceed?
