Bridge hand leads to five spades and game

A spade led to the ace as East folded. A trump came, West followed with nine, and the dummy's ten tiebreaker was used as East discarded the eight of hearts. The queen of spades forced West's jack, pressuring East. East could not spare another heart, or the ace king would drop the jack and queen, giving North two more tricks. A diamond shift then exposed remaining cards, and declarer established six for the game. South won five spades two hearts and three diamonds.
