Two down looks like the best result possible here. Would 6 down be impossible? (Unlikely? Yes, but not impossible).
C to the Q, D return and hook loses, another C and now 7 hearts. Sure the opps probably had 4 H on, but they didn't bid it did they? I think the double opposite a passed hand and with only 3 spades is a very poor call; hardly routine.
ATB after their vulnerable pre-empt.

the problem is that the experts on the forum need to "do something" every hand. You will be outvoted.

Well 7 down is possible, so I'm convinced.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

On the actual hand 5♦ and 6♣ could be made. The pre-emptor had ♥AKJ, ♦xx and sing ♣Q. The lead was a spade won by dummy and the ♦ was hooked succesfully, all the diamonds cashed and a club to the King on the table meant only one down.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.
