After passing 2D West seems to get optimistic later in auction and thinks game is on.
east's 2D is an underway. need to cue the oppo's suit to show a good raise or jump in diamonds if don't play that. North has 2 possible defensive tricks as spades have not been bid so unclear why he was sacrificing.

At another table the bidding went: p 1c 1s 2h; p 3c 3d 3h 4d ap. 2H overstates the values and pass is better.
