my thoughts
he did play a minus point but... I think he played the wrong one . I can't see black living on both sides after this cut.
some variations
:b1: is a must else it gets very very easy 6 might be a minus point, but i gladly take it to kill black. black even has to play 7 at the minus point himself

what if he blocks on the other side... I just play and black has not enough libs. again I don't mind if I have to play the minus zone.

if he plays to get as much libs as possible on the bottom. again I'm fine with taking a minus point, now to kill the top left. @ a does not work because of shortage of libs.

In short. I see no way out. Maybe he can use his hidden move in a nasty way, but I have a scan + a move. So I get to eliminate two variations. I don't think black has much chance, unless I missed something.
Maybe I missed something. I did not spend too much time reading out all variations. If black gets away with this, then I lost a lot of great hidden move aji options.

Only move! Did I miss something? Can he capture my group? As far as I see, I capture his stones first, unless he plays a clever hidden move. I guess he wants to take the plus zone in sente!?

He did not really have a choice at the last move, I will just go along with what I put in the previous hidden section. I did not do any new reading.

:( I misread it. I only looked at the upper side ... stupid me! I can only hope that he plays this way now, which allows me to get at least some points out of it. Or I use my hidden move in a clever way possibly at

points black +3 points (a plus point, a minus point and 3 stones) white +3 points (a minus point, 2 stones and 6 captured)
looks even, however: I also get the whole bottom left in territory as well as sente. I will also still be leading by 10 points.
After this variation I get to keep sente which is great, because I can then use my hidden move. I can threaten to capture the top with it, but more likely I'm going to split up the right somehow, getting a head start on that part of the board.

Yes, this is the better reply than immediately going for the kill on the bottom! I might even have to be careful not to get destroyed on the top too. However this move should be playable.

Time for my hidden move. I learned this timing from the other batoo game I played. At this stage of the game I can hide my hidden move very well. (lots of options) This will give me a good chance of getting an advantage with it. If I wait too long black will get too solid, giving the hidden move much less chance of success.
Now I used my hidden move and my opponent did not, I have to make sure to keep my groups solid. There is no danger on the left which is great. His move removed all that aji.
I'm not going to post my hidden move, so spectators can guess for them self where I played it.

it is not a good time for a hidden because black only has one threat.. only hidden move i see are...a,b,c. and all can be cured by "d". which is the only move black can play for next move. basically black lost his weapon for nothing.

Argh, that's great timing for your hidden move
I don't think you get points for capturing. They're deducted from my score, aren't they? Anyway, that's what I did, so the captured stones were counted twice now!
I haven't thought about my next move yet. I'm probably going to use the scan to check one of the obvious locations (but I suspect you didn't play at any obvious place, right? )

ahhh, I see. I only counted my own points and did not look at what you did with your own points. Sorry.
a scan costs 2 points.

If I capture the two white stones, then my group is safe. The move I played should take care of all hidden moves in this area that I can think of. I'm pretty sure that he didn't play any of the marked points, because it would be obvious, but I can't take any risk here. If he actually played there and I don't answer, it's "game over" immediately.

He defended the top left. Not doing so would have been a big risk, and with the 3 different options I had to kill him there a scan would not have helped to determine if I did play my hidden move there.
Anyway. My hidden move was not in the top left. Black waisted a move at the top left, giving me two moves on the right side, one of which he can not see. Seems like I got exactly what I wanted.
Next how to use the (fear of) the hidden move:
Now I'm going to play some overplays, using the fear of my hidden move to get a good result at the top right. after he will hopefully think that my hidden move is at a or at the minus point. This would mean he can not play b. But will most likely play at a himself.

In fact my hidden move is not at a, the minus point, or b for that matter. Therefore this is a big bluff. If he does cut and play at b I will be forced to pull back with c and lose quite some points. However it is no disaster and there is a lot of aji and fear left in the top right this way. Therefore I think it's worth the risk. It is fun too
I'm hoping for the following result. but that is a big guess.

After I do need to play the right side plus point soon, because it will be double sente.

Natural move, imho. I don't know which traps he has laid out for me, but I'll certainly find out soon. I still don't know when to use my hidden move for maximum effect :/
but... I think he played the wrong one 
.
at the minus point, and the bottom dies.
and black has not enough libs.
@ a does not work because of shortage of libs.
removed all that aji.
)
and did not look at what you did with your own points. Sorry.
he will hopefully think that my hidden move is at a or at the minus point. This would mean he can not play b.
