West bids ♣s at the lowest level over whatever you open.

2 ♣ 2 ♦
2 ♥ 4 ♥
pass
Acol two in Heart, enough for game, no slam.
+ 680? Fine, but I won´t reach the slam.

Um, why is this a great slam to be in anyway? You have one sure loser in clubs and need to pick up hearts for no losers, and ruff a losing club. So, even if you can pick up the hearts when they are 3-1 with the stiff honor offsides, if the person who wins the losing club has a third heart, you would be down. I guess you are OK if you duck a club first provided a trump is not led. But its not like this is a good slam to be in.
