Play the king - East did not open the bidding after all. You now ruff the last heart and exit with another club. The defence are helpless - West cannot overtake and East is forced to lead a spade into dummy's tenace or concede a ruff and discard.

South can also get home on initial heart leads via this ending or a dummy reversal, but try the effect of a low black card from West. Declarer can't quite do it, I think. Any comments anyone?
