South did not choose the easy option when he decided not to double 5club and bid 5diamond instead. North didn't like the sound of West's double and converted to 5heart, which West also doubled.

West leads a club, East plays club8 and you ruff. You cross to dummy and lead a heart to the ten and jack, and West continues spades.
