Semifinals: DeVries/Chung/Grant
May 13

While college seniors all across the country are graduating, nine of last week's players are graduating to the next level, the semi-finals. For three of them, the road to $100,000 and a slot in the next Tournament of Champions continues. For the other six, the dream ends here at the Kohl Center in Madison.

This Spring Classic is another standard two-week affair, advancing the winners of last week's games as well as four wild-cards, high scorers among non-winners. All of this week's players will be guaranteed $10,000 for their participation. And in the end, only the winner will advance, hence the phrase, "Win or go home."

The first runner-up receives $50,000 at least, while the second runner-up wins at least $25,000. As always, any and all winnings accrued depends on how far up the ladder a player goes.

Who'll join Danielle in the finals? Time to find out. Semi #2...

Danny DeVries Michigan junior	Andrew Chung Harvey Mudd College sophomore	James Grant Georgetown junior

Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double: $1000 You're Such an Idiom!. Danny leads it with $4800 against Andrew's $600 and James' $2800. "Alex, I've always wanted to do this. Let's make it a true Daily Double." The clue: it describes a small, dingy, out-of-the-way place, or an aperture in Hadrian's famous structure. "What is a hole in the wall?" That will get him the money. Instead, Danny runs out of time... and money.

At the end of the Jeopardy! round...

Double Jeopardy! categories:

Daily Double #1: $1200 Who's Your Mommy? Danny's behind with $1200 to Andrew's $5000 and James' $3000. He bets all of his stash on this: invention (proverbially). "What is necessity?" Correct for $2400.

Daily Double #2: $1200 Music Class. Andrew finds it as he leads with $10,200 against James' $4600 and Danny's $2800. Andrew can make this incredibly difficult for his two opponents. He bets $2000 on this: this large woodwind can play very low notes, & its name comes from the Italian for "very low". "What is a bassoon?" Correct for $12,200.

At the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round...

All we can say is... Andrew, see you in the final. All he has to do is bet $199.

Final Jeopardy! category: CIVIL WAR-ERA FICTION

Correct response: what is "The Man Without a Country"?

James' response: what is Go G-Town Rugby! WRONG. Wager: $2596. Total: $4.
Danny's response: what is congrats! Go Blue! WRONG. Wager: $0. Total: $6000.
Andrew's response: what is ... I don't know. WRONG. Wager: $0. Total: $12,200.

FINALIST: Andrew Chung

Andrew played very well in the Double Jeopardy! round, but this wasn't a case of Andrew beating everyone, so much as it was a case of Danny beating himself. Had he gotten the Daily Double correct, he would've stood a very real chance of playing for $100K. Instead, it's Andrew's time to shine.

Final semi tomorrow.
