At board 39 Penfold led 57-51. In the diagram there are the cards of board 40, the last one. Sabine Auken is in 6♠; after the diamond lead, she has to pay one club and two diamonds.

Nevena Senior plays 5♠, doubled, +1 because the heart lead.

How do you play the clubs in this hand? If you are Sabine, you need to have the ♣K onside: the finesse needs.

If you are Nevena, the heart lead allows to concede once the lead: the diamonds are still in the shelter of their ace. The safety playing, promptly noted by Julian Pottage who commented in BBO’s vugraph, calls for drawing the ace, and after, if nothing drops on the ace, finessing from North. This save us from the stiff K offside.
