Of course! Without the double it looks perfectly reasonable to play a second round of trumps, but West's ill-advised double has warned you of an unfavourable trump break. Three rounds of hearts, a club to the ace, diamond ruff, club to the king, diamond ruff and the thirteenth heart should leave West a wiser man. Declarer now makes spadeJ en passant for the tenth trick.
