Yes, but you can take your ♣ ruffs with the ♥T and ♥A, playing the ♥5 under an honour. Your ♥ tricks are 7 (trick 1), KQJ (later), and AT (to ruff ♣). All you need is for W to follow to the ♣AKQ.

 

If W has Kxxx of spades, this also works.

 

Win the lead with the 7

♣ to A

♠ finesse

♣ ruff low (requires W to have two ♣)

run the ♠Q

 

At this stage you know whether spades were 4-1 or not: if they were, take the ♠A, cash a high ♣ throwing a ♦. If this holds, you have:

[hv=pc=n&s=st7hatdk6c&n=shkqjdtcq9]133|200[/hv]

You can score 5 more tricks on a high cross-ruff (and just lose a ♦ at the end).

 

If spades were 3-2, you need W to have 3 (otherwise he ruffs and plays a ♦). Here, you clear ♠, breathe a sigh of relief if you're not down, play ♣K ditching a ♦. You've got the same position as above, and once again you can cross-ruff high.

 

Both of these lines come to 7 trumps, 3 spades, two ♣. They rely on the ♠K onside (to 3 or 4 cards) and W having at least 3 clubs. If W has the singleton ♠K, you know about it early (good news) and can probably play him for ♣ length, so you cash ♣ winners then drop the ♦K on the established ♣. This makes when W is 1=5=3=4, with the ♠K, as you can strip him of black cards then cross-ruff high.
