Five Come Alive

Matthew Bribitzer-Stull traveled south to Mason City last weekend.  While competing at the regional, Matthew came upon a most fascinating hand.

Thank you, Matthew, for your fine column and analysis.  Sorry that you aren't a card rack, though, Matt; where is that five when you need it, eh?

Please see below for Matt's gory details.

I think your LHO is a dead duck on a trump squeeze after opening with the CJ and marked by the bidding with the HK?
knock out the SA, win any return, pitch your diamond on the HA after going to dummy with a trump, ruff a heart...
then watch your LHO squirm on the run of trumps unable to hold the HK and 3 clubs?
He will have to come down to Tx of clubs and the HK after trick 10.
