But the fact remains that in West's considered judgment, seeing only dummy's hand and his own, a heart continuation was best. Naturally, the North-South pair felt they had much the best of the deal. They had prevented East-West from making five hearts and had also scored a game that could have been defeated. However, it turned out that their team actually lost points on the deal! Their teammates at the other table, sitting East-West, bid four hearts and then doubled four spades when South bid it. Not only that, but West also led the ace and another heart. As a result, South made four spades doubled "Everyone knows you're with an overtrick for a score of 690 points and a net gain of 240 points on the deal. Both Wests suffered from having an affair!
