Declarer receives ♣A lead, to be followed with a diamond, after pitching a heart, seeing south think on this trick, claims.

- I will pitch the heart on ♣K
-What about ♦9?
-I will pitch it on the club.

It looks like declarer though ♣K was worth 2 pitches.

Either that or he expected that South's hitch meant the ♣J is falling - which it is.

While he couldn't know it when he made the claim, since the Jack does fall his line of play will work. So he gets it.

Sometimes you get lucky.
