I would have won ♦A at trick one.

I don't think West has ♠KJT8 and not double, but I do anticipate he has the King since East had fair (and long) diamonds plus the ♥ Ace and from non. club honor at trick one and low one back, East likely has g club honor as well (will not have singleton or doubleton club).

The line I would play ♦K then small spade towards Queen.

I must be missing something because this hand looks trivial. Draw 1 round of trumps, ruff a diamond then play hearts discarding clubs.

As long trumps are 3-1 (or better) and the second heart stands up, you'll only ever lose 1 heart and 2 trumps.

[Phil]

Well, the 2nd heart gets biffed by RHO.

But you're ok as long as you draw one round of trump since RHO had KJ A QJxxxx xxx. You'd be dead if RHO didn't have sK though.
