I take spadeA, which unlikely to be from the king. diamond9, diamond3, diamondA, diamond10. Is this the rule of restricted choice and a time to finesse against diamondJ? Not really, because West has a choice of also playing diamond10 or diamondJ from diamondJ10x. So I chose not to cross to dummy and finesse, but West does show out on diamondK, throwing heart2.

Which way now?
