In a recent tournament I had my usual share of points and a enthusiastic partner.We had the following hands as NS.
                                              AHB6
                                              AHV542
                                              -
                                             AV10
 
V7542                                                                          103
9                                                                                   B108
AH975                                                                          VB102
H75                                                                               9862
 
                                            984
                                            763
                                            8643
                                            B43
 
The bidding was as follows.
1 diamond-double-2 diamonds
pass-pass-3 diamonds
I bid as cheaplly as possible 3 hearts which my partner enthusiastically raised to
 6 hearts.
How did I make this contract.?
Solution 2/8

Hi Pukkie. Cute problem. I see a solution, but will give others a chance for a few days.
 
H=K, V=Q, B=J
Remove extra 4S in West hand
AD lead

This is how I played the 6 hearts.
I trumped A of diamonds and noticed E signal with Q.I cashed in AK of hearts and was disappointed that the hearts weren't divided 2-2 .Given his opening W almost certainly had K of clubs and Qof spades. E had QJ of diamonds.I left 1 trump .E had at least 4 diamonds .With Q doubleton in E .W would have had 5-5 low and E would not have bid 2 diamonds but 2 spades if he had a 4 card..Idecided to play E for 10 douleton in spades so in trick 3 I played J of spades.If W takes I trump the returned diamond ,play another round of trumps and play Aof spades.9 of spades is then my entry for the cut in clubs.If W doesn"t take Iplay AK of spades. E can trump
but I make the rest of the tricks. If  he doesnt trump I trump 6 of spades and play the
cut on K of clubs. If E trumps 6 of spades I can use 5 of hearts to get to my hand with the 7 of hearts.
