..... west cashed the ♣K and was endplayed in spades, giving trick eight for 2♥=.

If it matters, E/W play UDCA.

It looks like East had two chances to do the right thing, either start with a low trump instead of the Jack or fly with the Ace on the first round of clubs and shoot back a trump as the actual play went.

The result is pretty normal I think. East got away with a very gutsy shift, but failed to pop Ace on the club from dummy.

West should also find the club unblock - he has enough information when he wins the club since declarer has to be 3=5=2=3.
