West led the queen of hearts. Count and plan indicate enough tricks, but the diamonds are blocked.
East won with ace and returned the seven of hearts. I would look silly if an unlikely over-ruff occurred, so I ruffed with the ace. I drew two rounds of trumps with the nine and ten. This revealed a 4 1 split.
I could draw trump but considered the blocked diamonds. I cashed two rounds of diamonds, all followed. Then back to trumps. On my last trump I ditched the blocking diamond.
Slam made.
