The biding was
West North East South
1S P 1NT 2H
2S 4H all pass
The contract of 4♥ by South is beaten by an unusual lead but you as S got ♠K lead. Can you still make 10 tricks
If you get a lead of a small ♠ from W you are down because you cannot stop E from getting the lead and switching to a ♦. However you got the natural lead of K from KQ, so duck the first lead and win the ♠Q continuation. Draw the trumps in two rounds, and cash first the ♣A then the ♣K. Now lead the ♠8 from dummy and discard the last ♣ from your hand. W is endplayed, either leading another ♠ so you can ruff in hand and discard ♦4 from dummy, or lead ♦A, so you make the ♦K
