3N is a joke contract and will go down on a normal line of play (cashing the AK of clubs).

Actually, that's not true. Even after cashing AK of clubs, 3N can be made because East's hand is cut off.

Assuming spade to the Queen ducked. Ace of spade. Jack of spade we win. We cash AK of clubs, west showing out.

We can now play three rounds of diamonds and put West in with the third. If West returns the Ace of heart, we throw the Queen!

If West returns low heart win in hand and play back heart losing 2 spades, 1 diamond and 1 heart trick only.

Agree that 3N is a poor contract but.
All your ace are belong to us!

Yes this is true, good point it is still cold after the AK of clubs is cashed. Pretty funny.

Although we have to pitch from dummy twice on the spades. Presumably we will be trying to keep 98x of clubs in dummy catering to the CQ dropping and Kx of diamonds onside? In that case we pitch 2 red cards from dummy and go down I think.

... and meanwhile we would have had to bring in the sharp defense to avoid giving declarer his ninth trick in 3♠.
