Yet again, bidding 4♠ over 4♥ in an aggressive auction situation is the winner. Why is anyone surprised by this anymore? The WORST possible scenario is that 4♠ is down two while 4♥ is off 1. But that will very rarely happen. Much, much, much more likely is that:
(1) N/S have a second suit (judging from East's hand, that's almost certainly clubs).
(2) E/W can make 4♠ or are 1 off with 4♥ making.

The double was absolutely horrific.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!
