Scoring: IMP

1♥-2♠-4♥-p
p-p


West leads the ♠Q... He wouldn't bid 2♠ with just 5 or 7 of them in case you are wondering.

I found this in an Icelandic newspaper from almost a year ago. Back when I bought it I didn't understand what the text under the hand said but now I do (hint hidden):
Spoiler

... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Take king of spades,pull trumps and eliminate spades, enter your own hand and play a diamond up.

Basically i m hoping west has no more than 1 diamond entry above the ten.

He can hop up with it and play a club through, which i finesse.

Now east is stuck after taking the second diamond for the def.

I get either a ruff sluf back or a club in to the tenace.

IMO you need to be sneakier
