Contract:
3NT by North
North has a sound opening 1NT bid but there is no suitable bid he can make over 1♥ because an immediate 1NT overcall shows 16-18 points. South’s wide-ranging (7-15 point) 2♦ makes North's life difficult, but she bids a game-trying 2NT, and with 9 points and a 6-card suit South accepts.
If West rebids 2♥, then North is even more inclined to bid 2NT.
