My hand: ♠ 9 6 5 ♥ T 7 5 ♦ K 9 8 3 ♣ Q 5 3
West opens 1 club in 2nd seat. East responds 1 diamond. I stay silent and they end up signing off in 5 hearts and then wandering to 6 hearts anyway. Intriguing. Partner leads the A of clubs.

A-4-3-7. T-J-Q-K. Declarer plays a third club. 6-2-Q of hearts-5. And now he draws trump. 3-5-K-4. And now a spade. 4-3-T-5. And now a diamond! A-3-5-2. Q-K-6 of hearts-6. Declarer switches to a club. 8-9-A of hearts-6 of spades. He draws another trump. 8-7-9-2. J-7 of spades-4 of diamonds-T. Man, that was risky of him. If partner had the T of hearts he'd have been down the reckless way he played. He is up now, though.

Professor Jack disagrees with my club signal. He wants me to signal with the 5 to show the Q. I only want to show the K with an encouraging signal, so I want to play small. He then disagrees with my diamond signal, where I showed odd instead of even. I didn't see any point in signalling correct count either. I'm lying to declarer more than partner here.
On the replay the auction goes the same up until the very end, which West fails to bump the bid to 6 hearts. North doesn't cash his A of clubs and they end up holding them to 5.
