Although initially it may look tempting to pass, the diamonds sit over you and it's nearly always difficult to obtain a worthwhile penalty from opponents at the one level. Besides, East's failure to move over 1diamond probably means some kind of tolerance.

At the table South correctly judged to show her spades and from there on North could not be stopped short of the slam.

How would you have played on the interesting lead of spade5?
