MP, best hand South
I suppose that there is a fairly high likelihood of North having a 5th Spade for the 2D 4th suit bid, but it is not guaranteed, nor explained as such. So why conceal a 6th Spade, not to mention 6 card support for opener's second suit, when your only guard in the 4th suit (in which partner is showing no help) is a singleton Ace? A good 6C missed here.
