            West’s 2 was a so-called Weak Two, typically showing

            around 6-10 points and six cards in the bid suit.  After that,

            N-S stumbled into 6♠ which turned out to be a great contract.

            At least it was until Declarer botched the play.  

 

            After West leads the K, how would you make 12 tricks?
