You should not, for 4spade is cold. West had been listening to the bidding and proceeded to play in double-dummy style. Declarer ruffed the second diamond, cashed spadeAK and played heartAQ. North's heartK was ruffed out and declarer cashed dummy's clubAK. A diamond ruff and a few hearts later North was regetting his ill-advised double.
