It's worth about 2½ heart isn't it? Fortunately East-West had a toy with which to make life easy on such hands. 2club was Drury style - "Have you a good 1heart opening partner? If so, I want to play in 4heart. If not, 2heart will be enough.". East knew what to do.

How would you play 4heart from the East seat on South's lead of clubK?
