You hold
    ♠void
    ♥AKJxx
    ♦AK10xx
    ♣9xx

Playing 2/1 as 100% game forcing, the auction goes:
    1♥ 2♣
    2♦ 3♣
    4♠ 5♠

What do you bid now and why?

7♣, partner has just forced to slam missing ♥AK♦AK. If he was worried about trumps he could have used keycard.

What did Responder think your splinter bid ( in support of ♣ ) was ?

Maybe he has solid Cl and the ♠A and shortness in your 2 red suits.
But then, why not just go RKC ?
He may make 6 or 7C....
Normally, I might just wimp-out at 6C, but here I'm bidding 7C.

partner's probably got however many 'aces' and a diamond void and responded to exclusion.

most people play 4nt >>> 5nt as the even number + void don't they? (not sure which way's standard)
4s >>>> 5s is probably AK of clubs then

so either wheel out 5nt to check for the trump queen or extra length (which he's almost certain to have) or just punt out 7c

Partner shows an even nr of keycards with a useful void, I wonder what void that is...

7♣
