Endplay
The double finesse produces 2 out of 3 tricks 75% of the time. However 25% of the time the two missing honour cards sit over the double finesse (as in this deal), in which case 2 tricks out of 3 are won by the Opponent.
Playing the double finesse in an Endplay ensures 100% success, always producing 2 out of 3 tricks !
