The U20s were playing on Bridge Base last Sunday and we had this hand:

Incase you are curious, west was dealer and opened 5C, north made a rather brave takeout dbl (all vul), east and south passed (south thought dbl was penalty). West then redoubled which was passed around to south who bid 5S. West then bid 6C and north doubled that.

To their credit it was defended and played well but of course went -1.

Only the second time I've come across a hand perfect for the 4NT opener (which they hadn't been told about before). Anyone been dealt something better in real play?

I still remember this hand from Prague for its brilliance, and for the fact that I cocked it up in the bidding aswell.
