My intervention reached the very nice result of 3♣. Opponents can in fact make game with a good probability. But I failed the declarer play and went down -3 instead of -2, losing this board. You can argue that we should leave then in 2♠, but that is not the topic of this posting.
What did I do? West led to ♠K, and East continued with a small heart. What can go wrong when you try the finesse? Well, the finesse fails, and West cashes the diamonds and gets two ruffs with the ♠10 and the ♠8.
It is superior to take the ♥A. Later you can still make the finesse to the ♥K. There is no need to make that trick immediately, Plus, you get the additional chance that opponents let you discard hearts on the diamonds. Moreover, but unlikely, the ♥K could be singleton at West.
