You never know what you will have to deal with.
Both sides vulnerable.  
East deals.

	Opening Lead: QD
     If I were to show you the North and South hands and ask you
what contract you should arrive at I am sure that four spades
would be the unanimous choice.  In fact, even with the five-zero
break in the spade suit, ten tricks are fairly easy and some
Norths will score eleven for an excellent result.
     When I observed this hand, East found a vulnerable, first
seat, one spade opening bid!  After the hand was over I asked why
he had decided to make a psychic opening on this particular
holding.  He said that he never makes psychic bids.  He had a
five card spade suit, a four card heart suit, and a diamond void
and it was his turn to bid.  
     Depending on the bidding agreements, South could show his
hand by making a takeout double and then cue bidding (as he did
here), or by making a direct cue bid if that was not a
conventional call showing some specific suit holding.  In either
case, there is no way to show twenty five points after the
opposition has opened the bidding, nor to discover an eight card
spade suit after that suit was opened by the enemy.  Three no
trump was the final bid by default.
     The opening lead was the queen of diamonds.  This looks
exciting until East discards a small club.  South wins the ace
and returns a small diamond.  West wins this trick and plays the
queen of clubs.  South wins and plays the king of diamonds and
another diamond.  West wins his last diamond and returns another
club.  East is in a great deal of discomfort as he has to discard
each time a diamond is played.  He cannot throw another club or
there will be no threat in that suit so he discards a spade and
two hearts.  Here is the position at this point:

                              D: Void      
                              C: Void   
     South is on lead and plays the jack of spades to the king. 
West plays the two of hearts and East contributes the four of
spades.  The nine of diamonds is played from the North hand. 
East must discard the ten of clubs, South the seven of hearts and
West the eight of clubs.  The nine of spades is led and East
covers with the queen.  South wins the ace and continues with the
ten of spades and then the seven, won by East.  Having only the
king and eight of hearts remaining, East must concede the last
two tricks to South.  In all, South has come to three spades, two
hearts, three diamonds, and two clubs, or a total of ten tricks. 
     Plus 630 is a good matchpoint score, but the contract will
go down with a club lead, while a spade contract cannot be
defeated.  This hand just goes to show that anything can happen
at the bridge table, and usually does.
