Game all

Opp playing 2/1 GF

Bidding is

1♥  P   1NT*  P
2♦  P   P  2♠
P  P  3♦  P
P  3♠  All P

You might not agree with all the bidding with N maybe forgetting S had protected.
Anyway LHO lead AK and a third heart with RHO following to the first two hearts.
South ruffs the H with ♠J as East throws a ♣. South continues a ♠ to his T and West's A. West plays a fourth round of hearts. Play on.

If West has the club ace it's easy (just ruff high and play all trumps), but that ace is likely to be with East. I think I'd play the diamond jack, tempting East to cover. If he fails to do that, I'll overtake and play all trumps anyway, hoping to eventually duck a club to East.

This is a cute hand. RHO surely has 4♦ to compete to the three level otherwise he is risking a 3-3 fit.. If you conclude that the whole hand falls into place. LHO therefore has 3♦ and therefore his shape is 3532. That makes RHO 1246. It's a little strange that he didn't try 3♣ on the way out but, if you discard a ♦ on the fourth round of heart you score up 3♠. RHO does indeed have the club A and LHO the diamond Q.

West must be 3532, that leaves West with no trump left (1246), so just throw your ♦ on 4th ♥
