  The following deal is from page 47 of 'Card Play Technique' by Norman Squire.
  The play and analysis given there agrees completely with DDA.

  Bidding:     W  N   E   S
               -  -   1C  dbl
               no 2H  etc
  Lead W: C8
  South reaches 3NT after East opened with 1C. Dummy plays C9, east CT
  and south wins with CK. South enters dummy with HK to lead a diamond,
  east playing low, the DK winning. South plays another heart to the ace,
  intending to play another diamond to establish the suit, but on this
  east discards the DA. All south can do is take the spade finesse and
  cash his tricks, going down one.
  If east does not play DA, south makes 4NT.
  Note that 4NT by north cannot be beaten.

 south is in 3NT,
 this is the position after the first 3 tricks and 3 cards of 4-th trick,
 the killer play by east is to discard ace of diamonds,
 anything else gives south at least 10 tricks
