A Deep Finesse Gem

From the LM Pairs in Philly, 2nd Semi board 7 (hands rotated): 

      T72
      J32
      K
      AK9764
KQ43        65
T9654       AQ7
952         QT76
8           J532
      AJ98
      K8
      AJ843
      QT
Deep Finesse asserts that 3N is cold. Try to work it out on the HT lead around to the HK. Hints later.

    This is a cool hand. My instincts to play a spade were right, but initially chose wrong one. Need to play Ace and another spade. Start stripping out the cards from RHO. LHO can't cash second spade and now RHO can't avoid endplay.

    First Hint: You're going to let the defense in at some point. If you do and they 're allowed to cash 2 hearts and exit a spade you'll be in trouble. So the first hurdle is to prevent that somehow.
