Example #5 - Final showdown

The 3NT bid at your first turn should be more or less automatic by now - it's standard Aruf practise, knowing there is no slam on.
However, it's not the end of the bidding: East comes up with a 4H bid and your partner doubles ... what now?

Well, it's not really a problem as the same 11 cold tricks are still available in NT.
You just bid 4NT and when West doubles you redouble for good measure - and another bundle of IMPs.
