this is just poker now.
if these are the only facts we get, i assume we have no choice but to quickly bid some level of NT. I'll try 6.

I'll try 7NT. The odds are strong that partner's K is a ♥ so we may have 16 tricks

i chose 6 because my opponent, if he's paying attention, could easily double 6♦ with long diamonds and the ♥K. Unless there are more inferences to this auction we don't know, like partner pulls to 4♥ only with great hands with 4 Keycards, the 3N/4N bidder can only really bid blackwood with a good suit of his own. the limited hand with 1 ace suddenly decided he was worth a grand try? 6♦ doubler knows 3N bidder needs the ♥K for grand.
So I'm not sold that partner is necessarily more likely to have the ♥K.
Also, opener might just have Axx AKxxxx xxx A or something and grand is on 3-3♣.
Finally, I don't think i deserve 2220 on this auction, and i dont think my poor opponents deserve -2220.
