In a 1973 world championship playoff, the Becker team led by South faced Curtis Smith's squad. A psychic two spade bid by East unsettled the Becker camp, who then doubled five hearts while West converted five spades. The two-table swing yielded 1,700 points for Smith and a bitter 850-point loss for Becker before Becker recovered later.
