Taraweeh, Tahajjud and Qiyam-ul-Layl

QUESTION: In our masjid at last 10 nights of Ramadan they pray Tahajjud beside Taraweeh. So whoever wants to come for Tahajjud after Taraweeh, doesn’t offer Witr prayer after Taraweeh. If someone prays taraweeh and then leaves without praying witr, will he get the reward of praying whole night?
