SPOTTING THE SPOTS
On this deal from a top tournament, I heard of no declarer who made 4 Hearts, although a couple of declarers were heard muttering into their cappuccinos about missing a chance.

W | N | E | S |
---|---|---|---|
1♠ | Pass | Pass | 2♥ |
Pass | 2♠(*) | Pass | 4♥ |
The other option for North would be to bid 2NT, unusually suppressing major- suit support.
