What happened originally? At one table West landed in 3heart after opening with a Multi. He made it after adopting the line which involved ruffing the third round of spades with heartA. East-West +140.

In the other room the bidding was as shown but North led heart8. Declarer won and ran diamondQ on which North dropped the ten. After cashing clubA South decided to give North a diamond ruff, failing to achieve his goal on two counts. East-West +990.
