Although it is quite an aggressive move at pairs, South continued justifiably with 2spade. I say justifiably because of the end result. North now had the opportunity to show where his values lay and based on this good news South continued in confident and optimistic mode by bidding game in hearts.

West leads clubK which holds and then plays a club to his partner's ace which you ruff. When you cash the heartA it goes heart10, heart3, heart4.

Plan the play from here.
