Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer are now tied at one match each in Jeopardy!'s Greatest of All Time tournament
Thought they were holding hands for a sec. Photo: Eric McCandless/ABC We’re back in the Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time tournament groove with Match 2, which reunited us with our smart guy trio — Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer, and Brad Rutter — as they continued to respond to extremely difficult clues in the form of questions.
First Place: James Holzhauer, $82,414 Holzhauer only lead Jennings by a modest $4,314 with the first game, but, after not landing on any Daily Doubles during the inaugural match on Tuesday, finally found his sweet spot: Betting every single one of his points when he found those DDs on the board. Holzhauer added a formidable $38,100 in the second game, bringing his total to $82,414.
Tall, lanky Joel Barlow was an ambassador carrying messages between these two world leaders, both mocked for being short. Second Place: Ken Jennings, $57,400 Jennings, who borrowed Holzhauer’s signature all-in-poker-chips hand movement for his Daily Double wagers , played as solid of a match you’d expect from his cucumber-cool reputation: He ended game one with $40,000 and ultimately finished the match with $57,400, which was due to his incorrect Final Jeopardy! answer about the aforementioned 19th century chaps.
Third Place: Brad Rutter, $14,400 Things couldn’t have gone worse for Rutter throughout the match, which culminated in the second game with a negative amount of points: Thanks to a quick sequence of incorrect guesses, he couldn’t participate in Final Jeopardy with his -$3,600 sum. His final total, $14,400, solely came from the first game. He also had to be reminded of his portlier past, when Alex Trebek jokingly commented on how much he’s physically changed throughout the past two decades.
