4♦ and natural DCB

Slam is only 50% of course but all was good. What was East thinking?

East didn’t want to get distracted by the Q and figured A/K/K or A/A were required. Hence the kontrol ask. When West showed 3 kontrols, East reassessed, noting that K and AQ would be fine. Hence 4. 4 was pleasing, suggesting AQ & K.
