Of course the ♥A wasn't well placed. Comments?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

East's initial double is a little pushy, but it seems ok. West's 4N bid was automatic.

East has a 5C bid, it's fine to play 5C if partner has the minors but it's bad to play 5H if partner has clubs and hearts.

West decided his hand was worth bidding slam. Seems right.

X and forcing to slam are both fine.

Just unlucky, if either hand has a spade more and a heart less this is cold.

4♠ is a preempt. It can be made with less than 10 hcp.

** So 4S preempt cannot have H:A +S:KQx...? Is that your stance?? **
