% yes, but no other king

Playing Acol, after opening 1club and hearing South bid 1spade North would rebid 3club, but America is not Acol-land, and North-South had a few gadgets in their toolbox that enabled them to reach a good grand slam. North rebid 3heart to show a three card spade fit and a strong club suit that was good enough to force the partnership to game. 4diamond was RKCB for clubs and 4heart showed three - spadeA and clubAK. 4NT asked about clubQ and 6club confirmed the queen but denied any outside king. East led diamond5. How would you play 7club from the North hand?
