You can guess what West did - he led a spade. Declarer took his only chance when he put in the jack. Away went two hearts and 5diamond came in. +600

West was hoist by his own petard - had he overcalled 1spade then no doubt East would have introduced his hearts, making it much easier for West to find the killing lead. In the other room .
