My hand: ♠ J 7 5 ♥ 7 3 ♦ 9 7 3 ♣ T 9 8 6 4
West opens 1NT in second chair, partner passes, and East bids 2 hearts, transfer. West bids 2 spades, they bid a bunch of stuff and end up stopping in 4 spades. Partner leads the K of diamonds.

K-5-3-A. Declarer cashes dummy's stiff A of clubs and then plays a heart to his A in hand. He cashes the K of clubs in his hand pitching dummy's remaining diamond.
He then draws 1 round of trump and plays a heart to his K in hand. Another round of trump and partner is in with the A. A heart through lets me ruff with the J of spades. I have to lead a minor for dummy to ruff, which is then up. Making 5.

Professor Jack disagrees with my play to the heart suit. Turns out I signaled odd so there was no reason for partner to give me my ruff. Of course he had no other possible play so I guess it didn't hurt but it's the principle of the matter!
The auction is the same on the replay. So is the play. Making 5.
