Hold on, I'm still counting

Mike, Derek, Miro and I, like most teams, had a bye in the first round of the Scottish Cup so last night's match was actually round 2. We played a very pleasant team and for one couple it was their first ever Scottish Cup match - I guess they could have had an easier draw than meeting three internationals and me.

As you'd expect we had a comfortable win and it was the slam zone that won us a lot of points. This was the most extreme example:

♠ AKQJ ♥ AJxx ♦ A ♣ AKQx

♠ x ♥ KQxxx ♦ Txxxx ♣ xx

West	North	East	South
Paul		Miro
		2♥	p
4NT	p	5♣	p
5♦	p	6♥	p
7NT	p	p	p

I was just wondering how I was going to bid this hand when Miro put his opening bid down, showing a weak hand with 5+ hearts and 5+ in another suit. Keycard solved all the problems and I could count 13 tricks. I didn't ask about the auction in the other room but they stopped in game, so I presume that my hand just rebid a large number of notrumps and got to play there.

When I got home (at half-past midnight), I gave the hand to LotG. Playing the same methods as our opponents we bid:

West	North	East	South
LotG		Paul
		p	p
2♣	p	2♦	p
2♥	p	3♥	p
5NT	p	7♥	p
p	p

Potentially a very difficult hand to bid but I think you should all find a grand slam with this.
