If declarer wins, he can't get to hand to take the heart finesse.. and if he plays 2 rounds of hearts to stop the ruff, he is down on power. So he ducks and now partner continues clubs and declarer has nowhere to put his 2nd club loser.

 

This is not unreasonable, altho it also isn't unreasonable to hope for 2 diamond tricks and a slow club winner[/hv]

 

Let me add a minor rant: at the table, we'd know what card declarer played to trick one, we'd know our spot card lead agreements, and we'd know the constraints on our 1N opening bids... will we do it with 5233 but not 5242, etc
