West led the club 3, dummy going up with the ace.  When
east showed out, south played the king under the ace.
Declarer drew trumps, cashed the red aces, and led a club.
West was endplayed.  On the forced club return, declarer
merely pitched a heart from one hand and a diamond from the
other.  Another club allowed him to repeat the sluff-sluff.
He then cross-ruffed out.  (He could instead win the fourth
club, losing the last trick.)
West must retain the club 3 to avoid being thrown in.
