He led the seven of diamonds, taken by South’s king. Declarer drew one round of trump by running the jack of spades, then cashed his top clubs before playing a second spade to the queen, noting that East showed out. He ruffed a club, felling East’s queen, then played a third round of spades to reach this position:
Declarer cashed the jack of clubs, and played ace and queen of diamonds, discarding three hearts. West might ruff the queen of diamonds, but then must lead a heart into the ace-queen. Klinger discarded a heart, but this did not save him. Declarer played the fourth diamond from dummy and ruffed it to effect the endplay. If West overruffs he is endplayed as before; if he discards declarer cashes the ace of hearts for his twelfth trick.
