Something didn't seem right here. East took the double as a responsive double, and yet, even though west had a great hand to bid 5♦ after a responsive double to, it left it on 4♠x in IMPs. Letting 4♠x make here is very costly in IMPs. To me that's a horrible move with such bad defense of no spades and too many points in diamonds when east has diamonds so North/South are probably short on diamonds so they're not good defense. And yet, west has great offense in lots of diamonds and no spades. In any case, I figure either west should bid 5♦ or east's bid should just say penalty double since west apparently almost never runs from it since this is about as much of a run away hand as you can realistically get. It was basic GIB, but still.
