Play Bidding
South opens 1S and West with 17HCP and stops in Spades overcalls 1NT. North doubles which says to partner that they have the balance of the points. East with no points tries to rescue and bids his only five card suit 2D.  It is now Souths'  turn to bid. With  the balance of the points and four cards in their suit don't let them off the hook. Double.  As you can see you have four top trumps, AC and AS/KS for  an easy two off and there is also a chance of another trick to really rub it in. Three off vulnerable scores +800 for N/S. Wonderful.
