Endplay
Declarer now has won 5 of the 9 tricks required to make his contract. He has 3 more sure winners : A♣, A♥ and Q♦. He needs to find one more trick to secure his 3NT contract. There are finesse situations in all three remaining suits. By throwing in North by means of a double finesse in ♥, North then has to play directly into one of Declarer's tenaces, producing a certain 9th trick for the contract.
