South coasted to a safe contract after West cashed the ace of spades then led a trump. South spread his hand and faced no trouble, while the hand still suggested danger from a doubleton that could threaten a slam.
The excerpt explains how North opened with a jump raise and South considered six or seven as the contract. Blackwood checked for aces, one ace appeared, and South used a contention. The doubleton in diamonds made the player avoid bidding over North's three heart raise, noting Blackwood is unreliable with a worthless doubleton in an unbid suit.
The bidding sequence shows South opening four clubs toward a six level slam after North’s four diamonds. Blackwood was used to reach six with confidence as partner supported the heart suit and a weak three heart raise would have ended at four hearts.
