Poor bidding leads to fun hands

On board 17 of the third match yesterday, our opponents made 5♠ by squeezing West in the minors (after a slight misdefence).  So this board provided revenge!

The ♦3 was led round to the ♦K.

♠K was cashed then ♠2 to the ♠A followed by ♣2-♣7-♣8-♣J.

South then cashed the ♥A and led the ♥Q to the ♥K.

Declarer then drew the last trump and played ♣4 producing this position

North is now squeezed on the forced heart return followed by cashing the last trump pitching ♣5 from dummy.

Probably not the best line but produced a cute result.

Making 4♠ was duplicated by two other pairs.
