Bridge Deal of the Week (Nov 16 2007)

Problem:
The Auction:
West   North   East   South
                                 1♥
2♠       3♦        pass   3♠¹
pass    4♣¹      pass   4NT²
pass    5♠³       pass   5NT⁴
pass    7NT     all pass

1 - Cue-bid
2 - RKC Blackwood
3 - Two keycards with the ♦Q
4 - Confirming all keycards and asking for kings

The auction might raise a few eyebrows, particularly the 7NT call, but the scoring was matchpoints and North decided to go for all the marbles. South noted that 7♦ was laydown, but the task at hand was to make 7NT. Your thoughts? (West has one diamond and East has two)
