This is a clear example of a double. You have shortness in the opened suit, and are ready for all other suits. Partners overcall of 2♣ shows general strength. Opponents pass the double, which gives you the chance to ask partner for further information. He tells you about his 4-card spades which you gladly accept with your good hand, and you land in the game in spades.
East leads the 10♥ and I got greedy, or rather I got careless. Of course, you should simply take the Ace and finesse East for the ♠Q. You will get five trump tricks, including one ruff, two heart tricks and three diamond tricks after the failed finesse.
Only one made this in the IntoBridge round of Aces, and he got a club lead. Many landed in 4♣X-2 which is the second best result. The reason for this switch is that South bid 2♥ after the double instead of passing. That seemed to encourage East to repeat his clubs, and discourages North to bid 4♠. Actually, I do not understand the differences in all details.
