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.
