Bridge Deal of the Week (May 02 2008)

Problem:
The Auction:
West   North   East   South
           1♦        2♦*    2NT
pass    3NT    all pass

* - Michaels cue-bid, at least 5-5 in the majors

In a pair event, where the scoring is matchpoints, you reach 3NT after East has advertised both majors. West leads the ♥8, East plays the jack as you win the ace. When you play a diamond to the ace, East drops the queen under it. You are now assured of nine tricks. How do you propose to try for a tenth trick?

Hint:
Make sure that you don't risk your contract while trying for the tenth trick.
