It is interesting to note that playing a heart from dummy after discarding the losing club would allow the contract to make. Is it logical to play like this? I must admit that I would be assuming, based on the double, that the HK lead is from KQ and possibly others. That makes a heart from dummy unattractive. In spite of the result, I consider the HK lead to be pretty crazy. It could well be the only lead to allow the contract to make.
The HK lead was aggressive. He wanted to make an aggressive lead because he knew he needed to beat the contract by 2 tricks. If his partner has the queen of hearts as he did, he was likely thinking the SK was in declarers hand and they could score AQ of spades, A of clubs, Q of hearts, and ruff a heart with the 8 of spades for 5 tricks and a 2 trick set of the 4 spades contact.
