You have to set up the hearts. Take the first trick on the board; lead a small heart from dummy and if the king doesn't fall from east then put down the jack. If the jack takes it then get to the board and lead another heart to the queen, and the king should fall. Then if hearts split well the board should be good with the hearts left. You have to run the table after the next spade falls though to eliminate going down in spades.

Bravo! You need to play those hearts in exactly that way. And you want to do it right away while you have stoppers in all suits.
