West opened with a skewed but perfectly acceptable 2NT and East immediately located the spade fit via Stayman. West's leap to 6diamond offered East an alternative slam with underwritten trump solidity and, with a very suitable holding, East decided to pass. How should West play 6diamond on the lead of diamond5?
