What was East's plan if I had passed and West had bid 3♦?

According to a few simulations I did, east passes.
Become yourself.

Thanks. I couldn't answer the question, because all 9 human Souths in this tourney bid over 2NT, and ended up playing either 3♥ doubled or 4♥ undoubled.

Perhaps GIB is constrained by some foolish point count requirement from bidding 3C. I have to wonder how that call would be described.
I had a similar hand recently where I was the beneficiary of GIB's poor bidding. GIB W had 5215 shape, 1S by N, 2S by E, Dbl by S (me) West bid 2NT similarly to this hand, it went P, 3D (what else), Double by me, PASS. It wouldn't even prefer to 3H. 3DX went for 1400. 3H will also be doubled and defeated but will do 2-3 tricks better.
We haven't heard from Georgi for a while. I can't wait to hear his explanation as to why GIB E bid 2NT rather than 3C.
