This is almost a non question these days. When the hand originally occurred North bid 2heart, but today that would almost always show five hearts. 2diamond is the bid most players would make. This leads to 4spade after you have invited South to game. Nice and simple bidding.

After clubK lead you might decide to duck but that would endanger your contract unnecessarily if East has a singleton. How should South you continue after winning clubA?
