At other tables West opened 1club and North doubled. At one table North drove to 6diamond and now East led a fatal club - minus 1370. At another South bid 1heart and North felt somewhat justified in going on to 6heart. Although this is slightly inferior to 6diamond, it's an approximately 68% slam and North felt suitably aggrieved when East added insult to injury by doubling - a killer whale!
