Without thinking very hard: ruff high, diamond to the 10, spade to the king, diamond to the jack, spade.
I think that works unless trumps are 3-0, RHO has ♠A + ♣K, spades are 4-2, and ♠J isn't doubleton.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

In the match declarer went down because spades were 5-1 by continuing heart ruff at trick one, one round of trumps to hand and spade to the king taken on her right , heart back ruffed in dummy and the queen of spades which was ruffed on her left....I After that there was still the king of clubs to lose. I thought she played it properly but there was disagreement over that. Some people suggested pulling trumps after the lead and play for some luck in spades and clubs combined.
