The lead was the Q from East. 12 Tricks were made without breathing hard.

What happened in the other room?

North/South here left immediately as dummy was exposed, after muttering that this was supposed to be a friendly game.   This is equivalent to throwing the table upside down and walking out.

Psyches are legal and if a star player cannot handle this, someone should read the rule book to him.
