The first double by West?

I blame North for not showing his second suit and for getting partner to a 5 lvl game with a void (though I know it can be right at times)

Edit: I didn't quite realize North can't bid his second suit naturally, but I still blame him the most.

I blame everyone except East

How do we get to 5D by South? (Depending on exact trump spots of North and East, of course.)

Why is south removing 3Nx, doesn't he have very much what he's showed, 6+ clubs and a minimum opening bid, and his partner was happy. 3N is at least as good as 5D and makes due to the fortunate lie of the diamonds, with overtricks potentially if W doesn't cash out.

[MFA]

Raising to 5♣ was silly. When partner runs from 3NT he will have a minimum, so no way there will be 11 tricks. I don't think south should run from 3NTX, but those things are often also a matter of table precence so they are hard to judge afterwards.

I assume that the partnership agrees that 3♦ is gameforcing as it seems.

One wonders why South ran from 3NTx, but north's raise of the runout on a void seems really silly.

[jdonn]

North raising would be the worst bid, if not for the fact that that west seems to have just one double card in his box.

My guess is that West didn't hit 5♣ since he felt sure of down a few and was unsure whether he could beat a runout to 5♦x by enough ?

I wonder if North was planning on running to 5♦x if 5♣ got whacked.

Anyhow, the majority of the blame has to go to raising a run out on a void.

[cherdanno]

Huh? Do you play 3D as forcing?
Anyway, the worst bid was West's failure to double 5♣, the second-worst the raise to 5♣.

Btw, I disagree with Josh, West seems to have two double cards

He has one X for takeout and one D for penalty, don't you know how it works?

[nigel_k]

If 3♦ was forcing, North 85%. If 3♦ was not forcing, North 65%.

{A} x 1cl with void hts???????????/
{B} partner (N) should pass 1cl x to see what happens.then back in.

worst bid ----North for not passing 1cl x
