I guess LHO has ♥A and ♣K. Using ♦ suit as entry return to hand twice, one for finesse ♠, another for play a small ♥ to dummy's Q, then cash all dummy ♠ and ♥ winners. At last 3 cards, LHO is squeezed, he has to keep ♣KX, so only stiff ♥A is left. Throw him in with ♥, you will get last 2 ♣ tricks, totally 11 tricks.

Absolutely correct.. Of course, you know, for two ♦ entires, unblock the ♦ eight. Just be alert in case WEST stiffs the ♣King (he did against me), in which case instead of the ♥ endplay (which to play for), you drop the ♣ King. Well done.
