  1. The bidding is a little trickier with this hand but on a good day it should go:
  2. North opens 1♥
  3. South responds 2♦ showing 11 points
  4. North shows a second suit and bids 2♠
  5. South has a 6 loser hand and is desperately seeking a fit. He bids his own second suit at the 3 level forcing to game
  6. North, concerned at the ♦ void bids 5♣

5♣ by South
