West leads J, which you run around to your Ace. The options are greatly simplified after you advance a spade (luckily you chose the 2), and West shows out.

Intriguing! On Trick3's actual line, East won J with Q and returned a Even with both finesses working, how does declarer achieve a red-suit squeeze (unless LHO also has 4 s -- in which case he's triple squeezed). What were the Defenders' hands? IMO, at trick 2, it might be better to win K in dummy. threatening to endplay RHO

Nige1 is correct, there is no red suit squeeze. As it happened, West discarded a diamond early.
