Indeed, but West spoils the party by ruffing spadeQ! Now you'll have to switch to a different line that relies on the remaining trumps being equally divided. Over-ruff West, ruff a low heart high, overtake diamond10 with the queen and ruff a second heart with your remaining high trump. Dummy is now high, and there is one little trump left to access the remaining heart winners.

So what happened to my friend?
