another slam from Stara Zagora

In one of the 8 board team matches, I was happy enough to play and make three heart slams! Play this one better than me, 6♥ on club lead:

♠ x
♥ xxx
♦ AKxxx
♣ Axxx

♠ AKQJ
♥ AKJxx
♦ xxx
♣ x

At the table, i finessed directly in trumps, planning to revert on discarding diamonds from dummy on spades if I don't find the ♥Q well placed.

This seems a rather inelegant plan and it's probably better to play directly: trump AK then spades discarding diamonds, then ♦ AK, ♣ ruff, ♦ ruff, ♣ ruff letting opponents take their trump trick when they wish.

Still, the queen of trumps was well placed so I wasn't punished on this board ;-)
