I would have preferred the club Ten be the spade ten, but as luck would have it, West laid down the ♠A at trick one, giving us two spade stoppers. East drops the ♠J and West continues a small spade to the queen.

Plan you play.

broze, I think you have the wrong player as having opened the bidding.

Do I? I don't think so. I did misremember the ♥ suit as KJxx opposite Qx when replying though which meant my reply didn't make sense - edited answer accordingly.

Nice problem, broze's seems the only line that works given that E must hold both aces.
