Cynic said.
When Cy takes the ace of diamonds, he can place South with three hearts, four diamonds (from Wendy’s “count” signal with the seven) and four clubs, so two spades. If Cy shifts to the 10 of spades, 3NT fails. Incidentally, South’s play of dummy’s five on the first spade was an insult to Cy’s defense.
DAILY QUESTION:
You hold: ♠ 10842 ♥ Q9764 ◆ A ♣ 5 4 3. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart and he bids two clubs. What do you say?
