From the last Super Sunday.
GIB cleverly holds onto the CQ and discards a worthless heart - at trick 10.
I guess this is because I deceptively offered to go -2 instead of -1 at trick 4.

It doesn't matter what it throws, because you're guaranteed the K for the 1NT bid, thus have all the tricks regardless.

Two Kings?
East had the King.
East also knows the whole suit because West showed out on an earlier trick.

East doesn't know anything about clubs, other than the fact the K and J are missing, and you need at least 3 of those points to make up 15 high card points.

So from East's perspective, click through to trick 10 to see all cards are the same double dummy.
