Can you get to a slam and if so could you bid 7♥ s?
Standard 1♠ opening by South.
2♥ by North, with 19HCPs opposite an opening hand already thinking of a slam.
South has choice of 4♥ or potentially 4♦ if you are sure that partner will take this as a splinter agreeing ♥ s. 3♥ is probably an iunerbid with .the D singleton.
North will use RKCB to see if South has the K♥ s.
South will bid 5♣ (1430 RKCB - the better RKCB and now the most common) showing one Key card.
If South had bid 4♦ North he knows South must have 11HCPs, K♥ , and a combination of 8+ HCPs KQ and Js in ♠ and ♣ s, so a good chance for 7♥ s
North having all Keycards will bid 5NT asking for Ks. Have you agreed your responses with partner?
Option of showing number of Ks
- 6
shows 0 kings.
- 6
shows 1 king.
- 6
shows 2 kings.
- 6
shows 3 kings.
So after 6♥ seems like 7♥ sounds a good possibility.
The alternative of specific Ks South would bid 6♣ from South
Some Souths knowing that North is interested in a grand slam by the 5NT bid, knowing N/S have all keycards, and a good source of tricks not shown the KQ sequence in ♠ ♣ s and singleton (if not shown) can bid 7♥ himself!!
Suggested Alternative - but risky.
You need clear agreed partner agreeement on this one!
1♠ - 3♥ (strong jump shift 6 losers or less) https://www.bridgebum.com/strong_jump_shifts.php
Is this what you have agree with your partners? The alternative is VERY different.

With a strong jump shift
South bids 1430 RKCB 4NT
North responds- 5♣C (1/4)
South bids - 5♦ (Q ask) - 5NT (yes Q trump but no K) - 7NT (3S, 6H, 1D, 3C)
