W3 is an overplay because Ba next captures the cutting stones. See possible continuations below.

Resuming locally

White would have 3 ways to continue locally.

[Diagram]

Resuming locally I

A possible play to cover the cut. White ends with a nasty looking group.

[Diagram]

Resuming locally II

B2 is sente - White is pushed inside which's rather painfull considering the initial desire - To get the influence towards the buttom/ center which lead to the small avalanche!

[Diagram]

Resuming locally III

W1 isn't a solution. Black can pressure white or get a nice ko imidiatly for the corner.

[Diagram]

Resuming locally III - Mistake

Avoiding the ko isn't an option - After the B4 tesuji, White would be doomed.

[Diagram]

Resuming locally III - Mistake a

Black would get the corner.

[Diagram]

Resuming locally III - Mistake b

B4 at B2. The squeeze doesn't leave White any choice...
