Declarer won the opening lead and cashed another spade. clubAK were cashed and a small club was ruffed in dummy. A diamond was ditched on spadeA, followed by diamondA and a diamond ruff in hand. When declarer's fourth club was successfully ruffed in dummy, West was down to heartAKJ8 and simply led a card from dummy and inserted heart8. Although North could overruff, he was endplayed and forced to lead into declarer's trump tenace.

Well, did your own line bring home the bacon?

Incidentally, declarer in the other room had a more straightforward line for 12 tricks. He was in 6diamond.
