This is a nice one. You reach 4♥, and West starts with the ♠8. If the trump finesse fails, you count 10 likely tricks, including one ruff of a spade at the table. But then there is also the chance to cash the ♣K for an overtrick. Easy. You are glad to combine all these options, and start a simple plan.
Cash the lead and make the finesse in hearts which fails. Another spade comes from West. When you notice that you are going to lose two trump tricks, you collect your tricks, ruffing one spade at the table at the end, and set all hopes to the club finesse which fails. One down. Everybody played like that, including me.
You certainly spotted the way to make the contract? Of course. You could leave West with two trumps and throw him in after you trumped your space and cashed your ♦Q. Is this difficult to see at the table. Maybe. But you will definitely see West's 4 spades and hearts. When he discards the ♦J on ♦Q, the coup is very likely to work.
