Bridge Deal of the Week (May 30 2008)

Problem:

The Auction:
West  North  East  South
pass    pass    4♠    5♦
dbl      all pass

South's 5♦ call was marginal, but the final contract has its chances. West opens the ♠9 to East's ♠10, which you ruff. You lead the ♦K to West's ace, who returns a second spade for you to ruff. You lead the ♦J to West's queen. West plays back a trump, which you win. How do you plan the rest of the play?

Hint:
You need the club finesse to work, for starters. In addition, you need some sort of squeeze. You can squeeze East in spades and hearts, or you can squeeze West in clubs and hearts.
