Support with support

How often do you get to raise partner with six cards to the AQT ?

Teams (IMP scoring), I was East.
Board 19, Dealer South, EW (us) vulnerable

South West North East
1♣ 1♠ pass 4♠
all pass



There wasn't much to the play and we took 11 tricks for 650. Our teammates bid 5♣ and went -1 undoubled, for a 12 IMP gain.


This isn't the biggest trump support I've seen. The record is 8 cards headed by the AK when partner opens 1♠, promising a five card suit !
