Lead is A Diamonds from west with East playing the 6.
Next is 3H from West with East following suit with 5...
What do u play at trick 3?
Can u make the contract if trumps break 3-1?
What do u do when East shows out on second round of trumps?
This has been posted as a bridge homework question and quite frankly I can't see any way to make 4 Hearts unless 2-2 split or East has the remaining 2 Hearts and West v. likely the A♣ and K♦ by playing the 7C next and then winning the next return and playing the 9 ♦ to get 1 ♠ ruff,Q♦,K♣, A♠ and 6 Hearts in South???
If West has 3 hearts and A♣, K♦ on 3rd round he should play another ♥ and following 9♦ the final Heart and so I lose 1♠, 2♦, 1♣ is there another way?
Thanks
Steve

suppose west has ♦AK, ♣A, and 3 card ♥, and probably a ♠ honour, why does he Dbl?? He has opening value, but a balanced hand 
If he has all those things, the only way to win imo is when he has only 2♠. Don't get the trumps yourself! You play ♦ immediatly, lho take his K (or you can say "thank you") and plays trumps again. Now you play ♠A and small ♠ ruffed, go to the hand by ruffing a small ♦, get his last trump and play small ♣. West is endplayed and has to give away ♦Q and ♣K where you can discard your 2 remaining ♠s.

Win ♥ in your hand, and play ♦ to the Q.
I f west wins and he is out of trump, he has to have Ace of ♣ for the X.
