West leads the king of diamonds. East will follow with the 10. Only made by a few declarers in a very strong Reykjavik Open Teams won by Klukowski-Kalita, Brink-Drijver, Edmonds-Woolridge. How are you going to play?

Simplest way would seem to be to play for E to be 5215/5116 with ♣K and ♠K, draw trumps spade finesse, ditch a club on the ace, ruff a spade, ace and another club for the ruff and discard to get rid of the second diamond.

E 5017 requires you to guess which club honour W has stiff, you may well be right that you can't make if the club is small

I was unable to find it in a quick search of the festival site and My link, but then it also looked to me as if the team of Klukowski was 5th. Probably I missed something, but the organizers and Swan Bridge could have done a better job of presenting the results.

As a consolation I did spot a board (#18 round 8) which for me in South would have repaid the entry fee:
