North-South blasted themselves into 7heart which West foolishly doubled. Foolish because when you are winning a match you should never give your opponents an opportunity, no matter how slim, of picking up a big score. How could West lose the match if 7heart went down in 100s? Impossible. However, doubling the opponents in a grand slam and allowing a possible redouble..... now that really is the way to lose matches. Of course North redoubled 7heart and it was East's turn to find a lead.....
