Whether West's 2heart followed by 4spade had some special significance I know not, but not only did East go on with 5club but he also leapt to 6spade after West's 5heart cue-bid. Nevertheless it has to be said that 6spade is a superb contract, but could East justify his fine judgement in the bidding?
