I'm bound to upset someone with my comments on this hand. I held the South hand and I have to say I did think about bidding 2heart. For about 0.004713 seconds. At another table where we were North-South, East-West disclosed that they were partners for the very first time and South noticed that his opponents were playing Lebensohl. So he bid 2heart. West bid 2NT, East bid a Lebensohl forced 3club and West bid 3NT to show game values with a heart stopper. So it didn't make any difference to the final contract, as West bid a direct 3NT at my table. The heart lead was obvious, and both declarers won heartA and ran clubQ to South's king. North had followed with heart7 and club2, East with heart3 and club4.
