I bid 5H for the same flexible reason as Helene bid it. Partner passed and made 5H on the nose.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Transfer to 3N, of course.

So what was his hand? I still think you should have bid 5♦, and watched the sweat break out on his forehead...

5H to me is the right call.

I am not convinced that 3S has to be a splinter. 5H says, I have heart support two spade losers and you know about my clubs, I think partner is in very good shape to place the contract.
