* Visiting from Betelgeuse

3spade had not been alerted, and so he concluded that North was not of this world, or at least now resided on a different planet.

East obligingly played the queen on dummy's heartJ, and this held the trick. Winning the next heart in dummy, a diamond went to declarer's jack and West's king, and another round of hearts followed. What should West do when South wins heartK and runs the diamonds?
