He can't have a trick, he can just about have:
Q♣ which is as good as a trick
a 53?? yarborough
a 4?5? yarborough
Of course xxxx, xxx, xxxx, xx is quite likely where 6♦ makes but 6♠ doesn't.
6♦ on a 4 card suit, rings a bell somewhere ...

Going to the 5 level voluntary will guarantee 11 top tricks, all we need to do is to let partner know ♣K is another one.
If we assume RHO has ♥A jumping to 5♥ if it is not exclusion should do the trick: 11 tricks, heart void, so ♣K must be one.
Another option is to bid 4♥ + 5♥, which precludes heart void if we don't play exclusion, and is the way to suggest an invitational hand with one if we play exclusion. I'd bid this way with a non regular partner.
Gambling on ♣Q or a good shape is another option, but I don't feel optimistic today.

The auction at one table went (4♥)-6♦.

When asked to justify this brilliancy, the player concerned explained "I expected partner to have a lot of diamonds on the bidding."

Partner didn't have much, but he held a 5th diamond which was good for a 12th trick.
They just overcalled 6S in the other room

4♥ 6♠ AP at both tables for a flat board in our match...
One auction had a much longer tank by responder considering 7♥, though.
