The auction went (we were silent):
pass - 2♣
2♥ - 3♦
3♠ - 4♥
..5♣ - 5NT (pick a slam)
6♥ - 7♥
(long thinking pause before 5♣ was bid)

Scoring: IMP

Hehe, I don't know... I'm the 2♥ bidder, playing for the first time together with someone, so we didn't have agreements until partner said (with approval of opps) to interpret 5NT as "pick a slam" :D

King of spades.

Of course the auction does not make
a lot of sense, 4H sound as suggestion
to play, and after that the raise to 7H.

Looking at my hand it is clear the grand
is 50% at best.

With kind regards

A somewhat surprising sequence...

I must hope partner has a ♦ stop, and I'll lead a low spade to take away dummy's entry - the ♠A.
Kind regards,
Harald
