South uses Stayman and the 4♠ contract is found easily.
Trumps are drawn in three rounds, and the other two trumps will eventually be made separately. The remaining side-suit winners bring the total to nine tricks. Declarer must rely on a finesse in hearts. She leads a small heart from hand and plays the queen. This wins the trick, because East holds the king.
Declarer loses just a heart and two diamonds.
