East has found the most worrying lead, for it threatens to cut you off from dummy. You rise with heartA, West dropping the two, and lead a diamond to your king and East's ace. At the table East switched to a club, but North remarked that he had feared another heart, so imagine that was what happened. You are pleased to see heart10 from West on dummy's king, but what will your next move be?
