Here's a memorable hand from Just Play Bridge on bridgebase.com

I'm south (playing with bots).

North's 3 should have promised 2. I couldn't bid 4 because it would show 0544 shape. I opted for a safe game in hearts with a 7-fit rather than rebidding without extra length or the ace. North didn't even correct to 5.

 

Running 3 trump reveals the 6-2 split. West ruffs a diamond and drives out the rest of the trump. Defense can then cash 5 spade tricks, but West returns a , handing me the contract.
