(P) - 1♣-(1♦)-1NT all pass

lead, ♦K

Dealer: West
Vul: None
Scoring: IMP
♠ T975
♥ QJ9
♦ T
♣ AKQ97
♠ J84
♥ 742
♦ AQJ4
♣ T86
 



How would you play this?

Would the line be different at Matchpoints?


(ps. feel free to have the mods move this to BI if you think it belongs there).

Win the A♦ and ride the ♣8 seems like a 100% to make play

Suppose East has the (rather contrived) hand

AK10
xxxxxx
J

After the club loses to the jack and they continue with a spade to the queen, a heart to the king, a spade to the ace, two more rounds of hearts and the king of spades, you may like to rethink your "100%" suggestion.

[Yes, you might double 1C with that hand but I bet not everyone would]
