Frimann opened the bidding with 1heart and his partner bid 2NT, game forcing with four hearts (but usually with a better hand). South rebid 3NT, intended as showing a balanced hand but understood by North as extra trump length. After cue-bids of 4club, 4diamond South thought that only the spade control was required and bid 4NT, RKCB, and so the final contract became 6heart!

How would you play on the lead of club6?
