My hand: ♠ K J 8 5 4 ♥ 9 ♦ A K 8 5 ♣ 4 3 2
East opens 1 heart in 3rd seat. I overcall 1 spade. West bids 2 spades as a constructive raise, partner passes, and East bids 3 spades. ALL THE SPADES! This one shows control in spades for hearts. They cuebid some more and end up settling in 6 hearts.
East should have a singleton A of spades for the cuebidding. He should also have a stiff diamond. I'm not sure I believe their cuebids. I lead the K of diamonds.

K-3-6-Q. Well, it is looking like stiff Q of diamonds after all. But I can't see a reason to play any other cards and I'm not setting up dummy so I try to cash another diamond. It gets ruffed. Then he draws trump, runs clubs, cashes a spade, and ruffs a spade. And is up, actually. Making 6.

Jack mildly disagrees with my double of 4 diamonds. Because he thinks it's a penalty double. It has to be lead directional. (They might end up in 6NT or something and he needs to know about my AK of diamonds. He also disagrees with leading the A of diamonds at trick 2. He'd rather I lead a low diamond. That's insane. If East is false carding from QJ tight it loses the contract! He also gets bitter at my signaling after I knew they had 12 tricks and was just playing the hand out.
Ranking after board 48/60: 12/16 with 48.07%
