Managed 100% on 1 (same auction but +3 somehow) and 4 (same spot, different auction, but +2) when I won the same club lead, ran diamonds, exited a spade and West continued clubs into my KJ
1. I think the right bid is 2NT (minors). At this distribution and colors, there is little chance of being wrong. 2. I bid 4NT and landed safely in 5D. 4. I went 1D-3NT and got the same lead. 5. I don't hate your 4NT bid but I've gotten burned by partner being 2-2 in the majors so I settled for 4H. This shows a crazy-powerful hand and partner has another bid.
1. I missed the description for 2NT and defended for a poor result. 7. I miscounted my points and opened 1NT instead, the bot transferred to hearts and we just stopped there.
I didn't endplay them quite as artfully (LHO cashed the CK at some point) but +400 was still 100%. I didn't bid the slam and pushed the other 6 boards so I edged you guys this week.

Board 7: strip the clubs, run the 10D. Guaranteed make.

Nice finish - I end played them as well but never bid the game!
