Dealer: East    Vul: EW   MP Scoring West 2 3 Pass North Pass 3 East Pass Pass Pass South 1 3 Pass

After West cashed two top diamonds and continued a third to which an impotent East couldn't a dummy T overruff, South could 'sadly' count 1 diamond ruff, 5 spades and 4 clubs even if the club finesse were off.

It wasn't and declarer made 5 spades for a 'surprisingly' good score.
