Contract:

6♥ by South

North has a strong hand with support for partner's major, so switches suit first with the intention of bidding 4♥ on the second round. However, when partner shows a 6-card suit and 16+ points, it suddenly becomes North's responsibility to look for the slam. A 4♥ bid would likely be passed out as simply preferring 4♥ to 3NT, since 3♥ is forcing to game over partner's 2-level bid.
