Problem:
You reach 4♠ after an uncontested auction. West leads the ♣5 (playing fourth best leads), East plays the king and returns a trump, you win the ace. At this juncture, there are several reasonable plays that lead to success. The declarer at the table chose to play a diamond to the ten (standard count), queen and king. East returned a diamond to dummy's nine. When a second spade was played from dummy, East discarded a diamond. How do you plan the play against best defense?
Hint:
All evidence point to East having five diamonds. Also, you need West to have the doubleton ♥K to have a chance (you cannot make the contract if West has Kxx of hearts). West therefore is likely to be 4-2-2-5. Now that you have a blueprint of the opponents' distribution, can you find a line of play to make the contract?
