You choose to handhog with 3NT against expert opposition and get the H:6 lead. Winning in hand with the H:K, you start on diamonds by leading low to dummy's D:J. RHO wins with the D:A and returns the H:3, while LHO wins the H:A and clears the suit with the H:2, RHO discarding the C:2; you choose to discard the C:6. When you play a diamond back to your hand, both follow.

This contract is more or less cold, but there is still one snag. Do you see it? What can you do about it?
