If the diamonds were 2-2 then the contract would be solid, but declarer spotted that an elimination gave an additional chance. He crossed to dummy with clubJ and ruffed a spade high. After cashing clubK and crossing to dummy with club10, West following all the way, a small diamond was led from dummy and East contributes the queen.
