Bridge Deal of the Week (Jul 11 2008)

Problem:

The Auction:
West  North  East  South
1NT   dbl      pass   2♥
all pass

You are South on this deal, declaring 2♥ after West opened a 15-17 1NT. West leads the ♦5, you choose to win the trick with dummy's ace. At trick two, you exit with a spade off of dummy, East wins the trick with the queen. East plays a trump, West wins the ace and plays back another trump. Plan the play.

Hint:
The main problem on this deal is the lack of entries to hand. East appears to have the king and queen of spades. His decision to play a heart should provide an inference as to whether he has the ♥Q or not.
