Any contract can make

When dummy goes down and you see immediately you need a suit to break to fulfill your contract that's normal. When you need two suits to break that's not as much fun. When you need two suits to break, a finesse and, a miss defense so grievous only pulling the wrong card could explain it, then you're in trouble. Yes, trouble.

♠ 5 ♥ A K Q 8 5 3 ♦ A J 7 5 ♣ A 4		♠ Q T 9 6 4 3 ♥ - ♦ T 4 ♣ K Q 8 7 6

If you had to guess the contract you'd probably say 4♥ or 5♣. Maybe 6♣ or an off beat 3NT if I asked further but nowhere near the top of the list is 5♦.

North led the K♠, South discarding a heart, and we all remarked at how poorly the vulnerable 3♠, which we'd had the chance to double, would have played.

Next came a small spade from North which I covered perforce and South ruffed with the deuce. I over ruffed and tried a diamond toward table which North grabbed with glee.

The pondering that came next revealed that Norths glee might have been premature but eventually another diamond came back. That picked up the diamond suit for one loser. Souths first round pitch of the heart was from four small so the hearts now ran leaving me a little bewildered and with eleven tricks.
