WEst lead 7 of Heart (4th best) and East take with the Ace to play 10 of H.
3 scenarios;
a) West led from 4 hearts (unlikely - given bidding)
West led from 5 hearts
c) West led from 6 hearts
* In all cases RHO holds the remainder of the hcp.
If (a), the East hand has =>4 clubs and 4 hearts, and
a finite number of diamond/spades. Regardless I duck at trick 2 and the defense will clear the heart suit. I cash the AK and a spade and claim (East is known to have SQ, DJ, and QJ from biddingand cant have 4 spades) with 3S, 1H, 2D, 3C tricks.
If ( duck the second heart. East will continue low heart and the defense clears the heart suit. East is know to have 3 hearts and => 4 clubs. In all cases East holds the remainder of the high cards. I am in hand with a winning heart and play a diamond toward dummy use make avoidance play against the West hand until East is forced to win a high honor (while still maintaing the A or K of diamonds in dummy). At this point, you are guaranteed to make contract (If 4 diamond in East then doubleton SQ, If 3 diamonds in East then 4 diamond tricks).
If ©, East will retain the lead at trick 3 and I assume East switches to club. I win the club and continue hearts and East is forced to discard twice (assuming West wins heart and continues club - best defense). Whatever discards the contract is guaranteed by using the avoidance in diamond suit.

thanks for answering that "problem" and thanks yzerman to play like me (i wish u are other declarer in that contract cause i wouldn't have lost alone ... 3.5 Imps
. yes i did that i duck the 10 of H defense clear the H i make the avoidance play in D and make the contract just done to finally... loose 3.5 Imps . everyone in the same contract , received the same lead . and don't duck , thed defense duck the J (most of the case or overtake to play again) . declarer then play AK of Spade to see Q10 falls for 11 tricks . i like the bridge for that reason . if someone want the 4 hands i'll send them but i'm a bit busy and gotta run it's why it took lot's of time to write that and it's why i don't send a complete "PM" of this hand (in theory u don't need to duck to win , even you play J u'll always win as long as u trust the bid ) but i'll not enter into all that .
