The opponents are bidding like maniacs vulnerable, and it is inconceivable that they have less than an eleven card fit - after all, partner did double. Voids do strange things to the law of total tricks, and if you decided to take out insurance with 6diamond your partner would have a chance to make it an excellent investment.

If you were South in 6diamond doubled, how would you play? You ruff the opening spade and cash diamondK. East shows out. You switch to a club and East plays low.
