If North plays the ♥2 on the first trick, Declarer's ♥K will win the trick. Declarer then leads his ♥4
If North Plays his Ace now, Dummy's ♥Q will make the third heart trick, catching South's ♥J in the process. If North instead plays again low on the second heart trick Dummy will win with the ♥Q. Now South's ♥J will fall under Partner's Ace.
