Awkward. The fact that East has not bounced in spades probably means that partner has some spade length, but if you bid 3heart is partner ever going to believe you are this strong in the balancing position? Nevertheless, if you decide on 4heart as South did at the table, you will have ample time to curse your decision to disregard 3NT as a final contract if you do not make yours.

You have about 10 seconds to get this one right.
