A hand from the 2nd set of the final of the BBO forum event. Any idea why the advanced GIB did not cash ♥A?

Well done by GIB to avoid letting declarer take 12 tricks by avoiding the switch to ♣K at trick 2. In a couple of more GIB revisions, I'm sure GIB will be able to hold declarer to 10 tricks.

I guess theoretically West could have an extra spade in place of a small club. If GIB could only simulate one matching hand and that was it, that could lead to a diamond return. But that's clutching at straws. GIB is broken.
