W leads the ♣6, E follows. Over the course of drawing trumps you find out
Spoiler
The opponents are bean counters with no defensive signalling (in other words, this is a tweaked hand played against GIB)

Well as West was asked to lead a heart but has instead lead a club, I think it is a singleton. How about win the club in Hand, Ace of hearts, spade to the Ace, Heart ruff, spade to the King, Heart ruff, and then play on clubs forcing West to waste his Q!s and give us either a free D finesse or a ruff/discard? if he doesn't play it then i guess we can always fall back on the D finesse.

That's almost the line I had in mind, very nice. W indeed has a singleton club but after you ruff all your hearts and run clubs he just pitches diamonds on them. So now you're here:
With the lead in north.

Well i guess you could pray W is out of hearts and play a trump. quite likely I guess for E's double

Yep. There's no reason not to lose the trump then. At worst, W has a heart left and you fall back on the ♦ finesse.

Thanks for an interesting deal but you could have headlined your topic "Report, ahem, good plays by Gib". My experience is that in this situation - ruff to be forced into an unfavourable lead - the robots do not accept the "poisoned chalice"!

W never ruffed. When the deal was actually played I led a trump to W's queen after ruffing two hearts and eliminating clubs, and found out E started life with ♥KQTxxx and out so the play was both useful and necessary. A human would open 2♥ with the E hand but GIB counted only five beans.

Sorry, did not mean to criticize your play or judgment. Just meant to give credit to Gib for making a good decision in refusing to ruff.
