It's hard to argue with success, but South made what today would be considered to be a horrible bid. With an understandable reluctance to rebid 2NT on two small hearts, South should have bid 2diamond - surely forcing after his partner's two level response. Whether North decides on 2spade or 3spade then 4spade will be the final contract. Still, the play's the thing. How would you proceed in 4spade redoubled after West's lead to East's ace and another heart to West's king. West switches to club2.
