After this rarely seen sequence, I was happy remember correctly all these conventions. Now its time to bid the game. After a quick look at 3nt, I decided to bid 5♦ rather than 3nt but wait a second no one bid ♦ before. After this tiring bidding I dont want to play 5♦. So creative mind(!) makes his own way. I bid 4♣ hoping p bid 4♦ and I will tie it to a game. However, this creative mind(!) did not expect this bidding :

4♥ 5♦
6♦!!!
Now I believe that I am so close to "What did hit me" thing. Then my RHO cash her Ace of ♣. Something not in order I guess.No, no, no one can make me believe that I am the dummy if it was, we were not playing level 6! This was a obvious Defenders Lead Out of Turn.
Then I called TD and this time I told him that I do not want a ♣ lead. Why I say this time? Because
few years ago when I was the declerar of 6♠ in junior championship in Turkey my RHO Lead Out of Turn. Same guy istting in front of me at this 6♦ deal. It was again a club lead and I told director that my decision was "lead whatever you want". And I saw LHO cashing Ace of clubs and ♣ ruff 6♠ -1. :)
Anyway now we are the dealer of 6♦, while trying to make partner dealer of 5♦. What a shame!
Now new lead is K of ♥. and both hands:
♠AKQT72 ♠ -

♦AQ942 ♦J76

discarding club from dummy and playing J of ♦ and winning, one more ♦ and K appears, a ♠ ruff
and dummy is good. LHO did not play K from doubleton. Who would beileve after all these we will end up with 6♦ made.
