West leads the ace of spades against your pushy game and switches to the queen of diamonds. You win with the king and play a trump to the queen and a second trump on which East shows out. West wins and plays the ten of clubs. Over to you.

I'm not sure there is an obligatory play after ♣T, but to simplify things I would take with A and play spades to K.
Then run all the trumps hoping/figuring that East is squeezed in the other three suits.

I thought West was 5-4-2-2 and ducked the club. East won and returned the jack of diamonds, but I won, and cashed all the trumps but one, throwing clubs from dummy. East had the queen of spades, king of clubs and a diamond and gets caught in a type of trump squeeze.
