Jacoby transfer bid leads to six spades slam
North's two heart Jacoby transfer forces South to show spades and bid. With 18 points and four spades South advances to six spades after a sequence manipulating trumps. He plays the spades from his hand, handling a four-nothing break and ensuring the slam remains safe while dummy's ace and nine cover West's cards. A cool heart trick seals the slam.
