Where 2heart would have been game-forcing North had to make do with 2spade, but it was still OK because South bit the bullet with 3diamond. Now there was no way game would be missed and after a 3heart suggestion from North they eventually stopped in 4spade.

How would you play from the South hand after the annoying lead of spade2 to the ace and spade5 continuation? West follows with the eight.
