A trick of four cards. North led the 10♠. Usually all players must follow suit and play a spade unless they have none. East does so with the K♠. South does not have a spade, so plays the J♦, and West the 7♥. In a notrump game, east wins the trick, having played the highest card of the suit led, unless the game is an ace–ten game, with 10 being higher than the king, making north win the trick. If diamonds or hearts are trumps, south or west respectively win.
