Take a gander at the deal shown above, as played on Table 1 of the recent ***shire Swiss Pairs event. South was in 3NT after a brief auction (1S—2H—2S—3C—3NT) but the contract went one off thanks to a fine defence from the winners.

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is actually quite simple: to work out which card you think won the final, setting trick for the defence.

Clue: sure enough there is plenty of poorbridge involved, especially towards the end.
