Kinda. Depends on what the 7s did for villain on turn. Assuming he's suited, ~25% of the time, that gives him a fd to go with what we think is probably an oesd, maybe Pair +oesd. If he had a wrap, he is probably shoving.
Anyway, if he has fd and oesd, he has ~37% and he needs only 28% with the way you bet. If this was pot limit, we couldn't shut him out even by potting,but if the spade doesn't give him a fd and he has pair+oesd, he has ~27% and potting would give him incorrect odds.
But the real point of potting is what Eldodo said about getting the spr as low as possible so that we are never folding river.
