Bridge Deal of the Week (May 05 2006)

Problem:

The Auction:
South  West  North   East
1♥      pass    4NT*   pass
5♣**   pass    6♥     all pass

* Roman key-card Blackwood (RKCB) in hearts
** 0 or 3 key cards

You open 1♥ with the South hand in spite of the dubious heart suit. Partner wastes no time in the auction, and bids RKCB Blackwood (also known as RKCB 3041 or RKCB 0314) in hearts, asking you for the number of key cards you have. You bid 5♣, showing 0 or 3 key cards. Partner ends the auction with 6♥, knowing that you must have 3 key cards since you opened the bidding. West leads the ♦J, which you win in hand. It is up to you to make the contract.

Hint:
You have no losers in the side suits, so your task is to restrict your losers in the trump suit to one.
