Hope you switched to a heart! If you'd chosen a club it would also be OK if partner then switches to a heart, for South has no quick entry to clubK. This defence was required to establish a heart trick before it eventually went away. +200 was not a great score anyway, for at other tables 4heart or 5club was reached.
