lows: Declarer had shown four spades, three hearts and three clubs. If the remaining three cards were diamonds, being able to discard one diamond would not be sufficient help since there would still be loser remaining, Now suppose that South held another heart and only two diamonds (as was the case). If this remaining heart were high, wouldn't Declarer have used it to discard the losing club from dummy? Obviously, therefore, if South heid another heart, it must be a loser. And since there was only one trump left in dummy, South couldn't very well use this trump of ruff both a club and a heart. Thus the ruff and discard was the winning play.
