With a bidding sequence that is certainly one of the longest ever featured on this site, Duboin and Bocchi reached a highly dubious 6diamond contract which was not bid at the other table. Unfortunately I cannot tell you what all the bids mean but 1club was forcing, 1diamond was a transfer showing hearts and 1NT was essentially strong no trump style. The end result was that West played in the slam and a huge swing was dependent on the result.

How would you have played on North's club6 lead?
