Taking Care

After the 5th trick, I stopped to consider. Assuming the clubs split, I have the remaining tricks. However, what if the clubs don't split?

RHO has a 5 card spade suit, and had longer diamonds than LHO. Certainly, having clubs be 4-1 seems possible. Ergo, I led the ten of clubs to the ace, then low back to the queen. Sure enough, RHO showed out.

This left me with an easy finesse on the jack of clubs.

Of course, having taken the finesse, I beleatedly realized that I needed to cash my winners in hand, as I no longer had an entry back to them. Oh well. Bye bye hard earned overtrick.
