Jan and his partner Gunnar Harr reached a rather poor slam (to say the least), but there was some initial good news when South led spadeQ. You lead a club to king and another back to the ace, on which North plays clubJ and club3 in that order. You cash spadeAK, throwing two diamonds from hand, while South throws a diamond on the third round.

How would you proceed with this highly optimistic contract?
