No, the PM led a small diamond from the dummy. East would not flash in with diamondQ unless he also held diamondA and in that case a spade could be safely ducked to West. However, if West won diamondQ he could not profitably attack spades.

Declarer ducked a round of spades before winning spadeK and playing his last diamond. As a smiling West put diamondQ on the table, the PM shrieked a cry of anguish - NO, NO, NO! .........
