This qualifies as interesting as it is spectacular how many things go wrong.
On the lead of the Jack of hearts, one might be tempted to win, and play on clubs to take 4 club tricks, 2 diamond tricks, two hearts and a spade. My partner decided to win the K, cross in diamonds, and take a spade to the J and Q (who knows why).
The opps now cleared hearts, and when my partner now led a small club, south jumped on the trick and led the Q of hearts. which is where the next spectacular event occurred...north didn't unblock which makes the hand cold as the cards lie (again)--partner pitched the spade six.
On the next trick, we have another twist of fate when the heart led got my partner to pitch his long club...seems like he's going down again (at least single dummy).
However if you look closely, you'll notice that north has every spade and diamond honor, so really my p was being fancy and trying to make on the squeeze. He won the King of spades return and played three clubs ending in the west at this position
Scoring: IMP
The bidding is too awful to mention but the contract is 3NT by West

The squeeze has worked, it's a single-dummy miracle, but you guessed it....he plays his diamond, because of course he hasn't been watching all those high spade pitches. I was flabbergasted at the end of this.
