Because you have taken the sensible precaution of preserving dummy's diamondA you will still be OK if you can play hearts for no losers. You just run hearts through South, over-ruffing when necessary, and play king and another trump. diamondA still remains as the vital access to any remaining hearts. Of course this all depends on playing hearts for no losers..
