Playing in a Swiss Teams event, with IMP scoring, the play of the first few tricks was as follows:
T1: ♦Q, 2, K, 3
T2: ♦7, A, 4, 5
T3: ♣4, 6, K, 9
T4: ♣2, 3, Q, J
T5: ♣5
...at which point West paused for at least 60 seconds (agreed hesitation). He finally discarded a heart, and threw two spades on the next two clubs (East discarding a heart and a spade, South throwing a spade and a heart). South then played a spade to the Ace, and threw West in with a diamond, playing for West to have started with ♠Hxx ♥Kxx ♦QJTxx ♣Jx. When West cashed a spade and three diamonds for down one, and the ♥K proved to be onside, South called foul, saying that on the actual distribution, West had nothing to think about, and could have discarded painlessly. South further argued that without the hesitation indicating that West had a difficult discard problem, the heart finesse would have been indicated.
