Have you remembered the bidding - and particularly West's bid out of turn? He cannot hold clubK as he would not have "passed"! That being the case you must play your third heart now. If West ruffs in now then he surrenders a trump trick, so he discards. You ruff, play clubA, another club ruffing in hand and bring down East's king in the process. After a high trump and a diamond ruff, clubQ is cashed and that just leaves spadeQ to be lost. Ten tricks.
