West's use of a waiting 2NT allowed the auction to develop nicely when East was able to show secondary club support. After that, they made a couple cue-bids before subsiding in 6club when West showed only one of the three top club honours.

6club looked a good contract - especially when North led a diamond. How would you have played?
