They play 3rd and 5th and since west would probably lead D from AK ill play east for a D card and without 5S.
So imo the S are QT8x---Jxx unless they play MUD or lead 8 from 87x

Tired from Santa Clara but off the cuff I'd cover the spade and table the hJ.
Looks like our work would be easier in 4H btw.

I dont think covering matter (i would have played low from dummy) but I do think east will will duck the J!H more often than east got a stiff Q♥ so playing the J is an improvement over A and J.
I dont see anything else

Assume ♥J holds the trick. Now what?

Are you sure you want to lose a club?
Will you send it if LHO plays low? I assume so, then one of 3 things will happen;
1-LHO covers ♣J
2-Your club J holds the trick
3-RHO wins and plays 2nd ♠. (there you go, you wanted to lose a club and you did)
That is one hell of a sick 3 NT, isn't it?

I watched my team mate Arthur Wasik declaring this hand and it took nearly 8 minutes, it was terrible for my nerves.

I think just unblocking the A of H and J of clubs to the K look best.
♣J facing ♣Kx shouldnt induce a cover even from Q9 but you never know.
If H are 42 its more likely that its west that got 4 so i like my odd for the ♣ finesse against east.

BTW i assume east played low at T1.
If he play high we might have 3S stopper and its a whole different ball game.

This is the kind of hand that can just paralyze me. As Rodwell says you have to clear the fog somehow.
Would like to think I will draw a position at the table about one of the round queens to make.

Yea, on that hand almost all declarers took their sweet @$ time man.
Actually you made the play that led most declarers to 9 tricks. But that is because WEST had Q9 doubleton clubs and they all covered ♣J.
I was trying to find out, what all declarers who played ♥J and won and then played ♣ J and won would do.
At some tables the lead was ♠Q which added some more options into thinking process as Benlessard mentioned. Leader had QJ87 of spades.
West held
QJ87
Qxxx
Hxx
Q9

Did that many west cover the J ?
It look like a major fishing expedition to me.
I would always lead the Q/J from QJ87 unless i suspect/know that one opps got 4♠. However on this hand leading low is a lot better.
