We've been playing for nearly eight hours today, and this comes after a marathon 15-hour session last night that didn't end until 5 a.m. Whether fatigue plays a role in deciding the winner remains to be seen -- for the most part the three survivors look sharp, aside from the odd yawn and some distracted eye-rubbing. Last night these players showed that they can be very, very patient, and in a tense three-way standoff like this, patience might be an even greater virtue than endurance.
