For what it is worth, parnter took the 5♥ bid as bid slam with a diamond control.

You were indeed lucky to be facing a partner in an individual who took 5♥ as "bid slam with a diamond control". Was she 1714? Something like:

♠ x
♥ AQ10xxxx
♦ x
♣ Qxxx

If yes, pretty good for an invitational 3♥, knowing that you had 5+ clubs. OTOH, not easy to find a better bid. Perhaps 3♦ and then she will get 3♥ from you. That makes her hand enormous.

That was the hand without the Heart TEN (AQ-small). I actually expected a bit better, given this was an SAYC player and I assumed the jump (when free bid was available) would be forcing.

i'd not open that hand 1nt, but would (if constrained by standard methods) with the majors reversed... after 3H, i'd bid 4nt because i don't know how 5H would be taken
