After winning with heartA in dummy and cashing three top spades, North proves to have started with spadeJ1095, so you ruff the fourth round and enter dummy with a club ruff. North ruffs the fifth spade so you over-ruff and exit with your last trump. North now has to lead a diamond, conceding the vital tenth trick to dummy's queen. Well played, just like Benito.
