Problem


The Auction:

West North East South
1NT Dbl Pass 2♥
Pass Pass Pass  
       
       
       


You are South on this deal, declaring 2♥ after West opened a 15-17 1NT. West leads the ♦5, you choose to win the trick with dummy's ace. At trick two, you exit with a spade off of dummy, East wins the trick with the queen. East plays a trump, West wins the ace and plays back another trump. Plan the play.

The main problem on this deal is the lack of entries to hand. East appears to have the king and queen of spades. His decision to play a heart should provide an inference as to whether he has the ♥Q or not.
