I was West and I went into culpable auto-pilot mode. I won heartA and continued with the queen, hoping that declarer had started with three hearts. It was now possible for North to win heartK, cash spadeAK, play four rounds of clubs throwing dummy's last heart and ruff his losing heart in dummy.

Do you see what I could have done?
