West, who leads, holds the missing spades without the Q (which is singleton with East) and the missing clubs and his only red card is a heart, of course.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Yes and on the run of the black winners East gets squeezed in the reds.
Can West do something with the A♠--namely, can he open with a club and either (1) win the second spade and return a heart (assuming one round hasn't been cashed) or (2) duck the first 2 spades to avoid rectifying the count?
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!

Win, spade to king, west ducks. Now you play the ♥A!, stripping west's only red card, and another spade. West wins but must put you back into your hand with 11 winners, and you can squeeze east.
Or he ducks, you win the 9, and run clubs for the same squeeze.
