Bridge Deal of the Week (Jan 25 2008)

Problem:

The Auction:
West  North  East  South
3♦      dbl      pass  3♥
all pass

You are South on this week's deal, declaring 3♥. West leads the ♦K, and leads a diamond to his partner's ace. The East player now plays a third diamond, giving you a ruff and discard. How will you proceed? (When you play trumps, you will find out that West has the singleton ♥Q)

Hint:
There is more than one successful approach on this deal; one approach is to endplay East in trumps to get strategic advantage.
