Scoring: IMP

1♦-(1♠)-2♣-(2♥),
4♣-(4♥)-5♣-(5♥),
5♠-(p)-5N-(6♥),
X-(p)-?


4♣ was forcing in this auction, 5N was a general grand slam try. Passing 6♥ would have shown first round control, so X was merely denying a ♥ void or the ♥ ace.

1. Do you agree with South's auction to this point?
2. Would you push to 7, or sit for the X?

7♣, partner sounded keen and I don't think we are getting rich against 6♥X.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Partner has:

Diamonds are 5-1, though, with no sqeeze emerging. Down 1 in 7♣, we would have taken 6♥ for 500, taking our 4 aces.

5♣ was not conventional, though we would have been in a forcing pass situation, so it should show some offensive potential, without having so much as to cue 4♠ or make an ambiguous 4N call.

I bid 7♣ instead of 5NT.

Me too. Partner's made a grand-slam try opposite a signoff in 5♣. He can't have anything less than what he actually had.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
