Nah! North was having some fun, so he punted 6club!! Now it's time for you to put this contract in its place. You are East, and partner leads diamond7 (2nd and 4th) against the slam. Declarer wins the ace, cashes two rounds of trumps with king and ace, wins diamondKQ throwing a heart from dummy as partner follows with diamond36, and leads heart6 to partner's two and dummy's seven. It takes no effort to win heart9, but what do you do now?
