‘Jeopardy!’ Invitational Tournament: Was a Champion Crowned After Game Two?

Long Nguyen’s win in game two tied the Jeopardy! Invitational Final series, forcing a deciding game in the first-to-two-wins format for the $150,000 prize.

  • On February 18, Long Nguyen, a retired engineer from Las Vegas, won Game Two, tying the series with Andrew He, as shown by his first‑place standing before the final.
  • Nguyen built his lead by finding the Daily Double on clue 11 and wagered $4,001 to finish with $17,599.
  • Andrew He made an all-in $2,400 wager, while the game featured a $12,733 wager leaving $67 and a $0 wager leaving $5,200.
  • The result leaves the $150,000 prize and upcoming Jeopardy! event spot undecided, as rules state two wins are needed to be champion, possibly on February 20.
  • Match quirks included both opening clues being Triple Stumpers, only two contestants got a clue right, and `Henrich` responded with an unusual answer, along with Craig's note `What is I hope Long writes Ernst!?`.
