North: ♠AKQx ♥Axx ♦AJ ♣AKJx
South: ♠xxx ♥K ♦Kxx ♣109xxxx

West opens 2♥. North doubles. East bids 3♥. South and West pass to North, who doubles again. East passed. South bids 4♣. East and West now pass throughout. North bids 4♥. South bids 4NT (Last Train). North bids 6♣. Passed out.

2♥-X-3♥-P
P-X-P-4♣-
P-4♥-P-4NT-
P-6♣-all pass

Thoughts?

As the clubs split 2-1, there was no problem making 13 tricks. 13 tricks would have been available at 6/7NT also. Losing a club would still have 6NT cold.

Any improvements? Is South contextually good enough to bid 5♦ instead of 4NT? Should North pursue the grand or 6NT after 4NT by some means?
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
