Overview
- Peter McFerrin lost his seventh Jeopardy! match and finished his run with $150,399 after taking the $3,000 second‑place prize.
- Dan Laine won the game with a final total of $2,193, which reporters and fan sites identified as the lowest regular‑play winning score this season.
- Wilson Li answered Final Jeopardy incorrectly and made a large wager that left him with $1,801, a move fans called a decisive wagering error.
- Earlier episodes showed how Daily Doubles shifted momentum, including a game where Alejandro Sobalvarro found back‑to‑back Daily Doubles and briefly overtook McFerrin.
- McFerrin has already qualified for the Tournament of Champions and the sequence of games has renewed public focus on wagering strategy and how it can shape who advances.
