Declarer inserted diamondJ and East won with the ace. South won the diamond return in the dummy and played a club to his eight! Why did East not return a heart? Because he doesn't have another one! Why did West not hold up clubA? Because he doesn't have another one!

North must have known that his partner could play the cards well.
