Link to hand

This happened during a partnership bidding session.
With what is not unlikely to be 10 tricks in hand, West just makes a simple overcall? Sure, it shows a good hand, but not this good. Admittedly East doesn't have an easy bid over 3S, but I would have thought simulations would lead to making game somewhere.

Before anyone starts asking about the NS bidding, 2H showed both majors, but playing standard, the bidding may well have been the same if you switched 2 of North's spades with 2 of South's hearts, and then even 6S would be making.
