I'd have doubled 5C rather than bid 5H.

"The 5 level belongs to the opponents"

I definitely crack 6C.

I'd bid 4♦ instead of 4♥ to put partner on the proccess.

If partner passed 5♣ I'd double them.

Now I'd also double adn lead a heart

I would have bid diamonds at one of the previous turns to help get partner's input.

Having failed to do so, I agree with double now.

Since noble seems to have forgotten he posted this, and it's an amusing story I will resurrect it.
Scoring: MP


1♠ - 2♥ - p - 3♥
4♣ - 4♥ - 5♣ - p
p - 5♥ - 6♣ - X
XX All pass


So at the table, I actually doubled 6c as East because I didn't want our side to be doing any more bidding (this is probably not a good call, but my feel from RHO said she thought she was sacking). From the responses it seems like this was getting doubled anyway, and at the table South XXed. This resulted in -1580, and 2! out of 16 matchpoints. Two tables got to 7c Xed which is like 1630 or something. Those who suggested bidding diamonds to get partner's input here would do much better, since after that East might not let them even play 7c.
