Last week, fifteen of the
best Jeopardy! players over the last year gave it their
best shot one more time. The nine that survived played
in a win-or-go-home semi. Now only three - Kerry Greene,
Alex Jacob, and Matt Jackson - remain. In two days, one
of them will be $250,000 richer as the 2015 Jeopardy!
Grand Champion.
First runner-up will win an additional $100,000, while
second runner-up will pocket $50,000.
