Now look at the bidding in the open room. Here East decided that his hand warranted an opening of 1diamond and suddenly everyone was bidding. West doubled South's overcall for penalties and North started bidding hearts. Eventually South doubled East's 5diamond but North persisted with hearts and it was now East who doubled.
