How can it be right to bid an invitational 2♥ then unilaterally bid 4♥?

the best part was how gib went down in a cold contract by taking an anti safety play.

Double promises max passed hand as well 4+♣4+♠ suits. It's not fully shown here.

As North came up with ♠A and ♣J, it was very likely for South to have ♣K and ♥Q.

It looks cold now, but if you ignore alerts. It might be unlikely to get most of the points at the other place where you would expect.

Yet you don't explain why GIB bids 4♥ after seeming to sign off at 2.

The play is just another failure of the get maximum tricks criterion.
