* Lucas two bid
~ which minor?

I guess most players, including me, would have bid on the East hand but at the table East tried the lurking approach and passed. South, perhaps in search of a miracle fit, enquired via 2NT about North's minor and after obtaining the good news about the diamonds but bad news about North's range (5-7 points), bid 4spade. Perhaps he had been intending to try for 3NT over a club bid from North.

Anyway, you get off to a faultless start with clubA and partner plays club2 indicating an odd number. You continue with clubK and partner plays club7.

What now?
