After his partner's single raise in spades, Helgemo employed a 3club trial bid to ask for some support in that suit. It's a method that does have it's downside, for it can help in the defence, but with an ideal hand North had no hesitation in bidding the game.

How would you have played on the defence of ace, king and ten of diamonds? East throws a small heart on the third round.
