♠ AJx
♥ xx
♦ QJxxx
♣ xxx

LHO had opened 1♥, and I'm playing in 3♦. ♥ were not touched by the defence, but ♣ ended up being cleared (with RHO who did not respond producing the King). It's simple enough to make 3♦, but seeing the opportunity to endplay LHO with ♠Q for a cuter finish, I took it. Trouble is, when I played ♠J from dummy, I was too keen to discard a ♥ that I failed to react to RHO covering with ♠Q
