Problem


The Auction:

West North East South
      1♠
3♣ 3 Pass 4
Pass 4NT Pass 5♣
Dbl 6 all pass  
       

South opened the auction with 1♠. West made a weak jump overcall. North responded 3. South bid 4 to show his other suit. North asked for aces and after getting the answer that partner has three keycards, declared 6. (The double by West was lead directing.)

West leads the ♣K. We invite you to the South seat. Can you find a way to win 12 tricks?

 

Vulnerable: both

Contract: 6
