Surely this must be a genuine spade suit - otherwise why has partner not done something else over your original 2diamond? Well that was my first reaction - but what do I know?!! South, however, must have been on North's wavelength because he bid 2NT and was raised to game by North. It may come as no surprise that East was not impressed and doubled. How do you feel when club5 hits the table?
