After a minute or so of thinking, South claimed one-off; indicating that she won't risk the ♦ hook (expecting it to be offside based on West's non-alerted 2♦ bid) in fear of going two-off.
Upon seeing the layout, South complained that had she been told 2♦ was artificial showing ♥s, she would've hooked the ♦.
East-West countered that at the point of the claim, West was known to hold 6♥s and at least 4 black cards so couldn't possibly have a ♦ suit.
