I think all these lines erroneously assume that East is short in ♦, in which case West could have beaten the contract of the top.
We know West to be void in ♠. Yet he led and continued trumps although he even had trump control in form of the trump ace.
Would West do this with seven or more ♦s?
Anyway this clearly marks West with good ♣.
Would it really be a surprise to find that West overcalled on something like ♠-,♥AJ,♦AJxxx,♣QJxxxx ?

I wasnt suggesting this was a good line, or that I would play that line, just that there was a mortons fork coup that gnasher seemed to miss above.
