At one table East returned a club, hoping that South would misguess the spades. No problem. South rose with the ace, cashed the ace of trumps, ruffed his club loser and ditched spade7 on a heart winner. In the other room East cashed spadeA at trick two to gain 15 IMP on the board.

Had you taken the decision not to double 4heart then you would have collected a quiet 200 or so . so if you did double let's hope you defensive judgement is up to it.
