* spades + diamond tolerance

Although South's double showed spades with diamond tolerance, North was not underbidding when leaping to 3spade opposite a passed partner. South's 4spade was also based on minimal values - but you have to admire the final contract. On a total of 17 working points they had reached a contract with a fair chance of success.

How would you have played on the opening lead of clubK and a club continuation?
