I double, but I think that this is pretty close between double and 4NT. On the other hand I think double was standout.

It turns out partner held:

♠Jxx
♥Kxx
♦T9x
♣QTxx

Diamonds are 3-1 and the king is offside and hearts are poorly placed for our side. The results will be:

4♠ their way is down one.
5♦ our way is down two.
5♣ our way is down three.

The opponent holding our hand at the other table passed out 4♠. So this time double wins 3 imps, pass is a push, 5♦ and 5♣ both lose large numbers of imps (all red remember).
