There were about 5 kibitzers was we played this hand. Prah led a small heart to the H A, and a small heart was returned back to the H K, ruffed in dummy. At this point, I need to figure out (guess) which minor suit king is onsides. Fortunately, I guess right and lead a low club from dummy. East hops the C K and plays another heart, forcing dummy again. I cash the S A, S Q, and play back to my C Q. At this point, I shrug and cash the S K, at which point all five kibitzers burst out laughing when both opponents followed.
