James Holzhauer Wins the 2019 Tournament of Champions | JEOPARDY!

[@alexanderwells4402]

James Holzhauer got exactly what he wanted, revenge.

[@ThorHC11]

@gyno If you're referring to James's low Final Jeopardy wager, he still wouldn't have won if he went all in. Emma specifically bet so she would beat a double up by James. She won fair and square. Yes, James is a better player in general, and he got his revenge. But disrespecting a worthy opponent is not the way to go.

[@ThorHC11]

@gyno Jeez. I don't know why my pissed you off that much, but if you wanna be like that, go ahead. I don't give a shit. 😘

[@ThorHC11]

And one more thing. James only got one daily double in his original game against Emma, and he DID go all in. It was the first clue of the game and he bet the Maximum 1000, cause he had no money. Dumbass.

@@Mr.Face222 Exactly. Brad's undefeated record against humans NEEDS to come to an end!

[@philcastora6564]

Everything is all a prelude 2 James versus Ken eventually.. but neither one wants to tarnish or devalue each others legacy

[@NickTheEnlightened]

@@philcastora6564 Both players have consistently proven that they are among the best of the best. Either one of them losing to another one of the GOAT I don't think would be a detriment to their legacy at all. After all, Ken's already lost to Brad 3 times now, and many people to this day STILL like to argue that he's better than James because of his longer win streak. If James puts up a great fight but ends up losing because either Brad or Ken outbuzzed him or whatever, I don't think it will hurt his legacy in the slightest.

Congrats James, well done. James has clearly mastered the art of playing from the bottom of the board up. What would happen if the dollar amounts were hidden until a contestant actually selected the clue? Great players like James would still dominate but they might not rack up quite as much money. Anyway, bring on Brad and Ken.

[@thesoftparade1990]

I am not surprised but I wss nervous Friday night with Emma leading going into final. It was a great two games to watch where they both did very well and matched the excitment and unpredictably of their last game on 3rd June. James run was nothing short of phenomenal. We also had Jason Zufferani (sp?) At rhe tail end season. He continued into season 36 and now ranks 3rd only behind James and Ken in terms of money. Multiple five time game winners who did very well. Even a second place losing contestant (Adam Levin James game 18 4/29/2019 had a total of just one dollar shy of $54,000. Seaosn 35 is BY FAR the best season of Jeopardy I have ever seen.

[@jackson5116]

And people said Emma didn't legitimately win the first time. She's showing that without the luck of the Daily Double, she was able to hang in with James toe-to-toe. It all came down to the Daily Double, that's why James kept trying to find it before Emma, whether or not he actually knew the answer. Smart strategy when you know someone is your equal.

[@23mrbee]

Jack Son she’s not James’ equal though. Game 1 James got twice as any questions right as her, and game 2 a little less than that. If James hadn’t (stupidly) missed that daily double he woulda crushed her like he did day 1. Emma needs luck in order to beat James:

@Christopher Bingham She's without question the greatest giant killer contestant.

[@NickTheEnlightened]

@Christopher Bingham Her name was Nancy Zerg. To be fair to her, I'm sure she was under a lot of pressure under her second game due to the fact that she had unseated a 74-time Jeopardy champ and was still reeling in the shock factor, so that probably did hinder her performance in her second game to a great degree, but the fact still remains is that she lost the very next game she played and was not even remotely comparable to Ken based off the 2 games she played. I admit that I myself was initially one of the people who was upset that Emma was included in this TOC, but she proved herself worthy of being there and that she was indeed a worthy rival of James from the start. Sadly, many internet conspirators will still throw around the lie that "he let her win".
