This hand would be quite interesting to evaluate if it appeared in a bidding challenge. Although 6club is the top spot, what would you award to 3NT (which is solid), 4heart, 4spade, 5club or even 6heart or 6spade?!! Incidentally, 7spade is absolutely unbeatable as the cards lie.

Tomorrow we'll have another look at another story on this deal.
