Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, and James Holzhauer Advance to the 2024 Jeopardy! Masters Finals

And then there were three! James Holzhauer, Victoria Groce, and Yogesh Raut are heading to the 2024 Jeopardy! Masters finals.

James came out on top of the semifinals after pulling off back-to-back wins in the last two games on Monday.

The reigning Jeopardy! Masters champ defeated Yogesh Raut and Amy Schneider in Game B with an impressive score of 49,601 and added three more match points to his Masters Leaderboard score, bringing his total to seven points.

Yogesh finished in second place with a score of 32,001 and added one point to his Masters Leaderboard score, bringing his total to five points. Amy took third place with a score of 16,200 and did not earn any points.

James also put on a dominating performance in Game A of Monday’s semifinals against Victoria Groce and Amy Schneider.

The self-described “final boss of Jeopardy!” secured the win with a score of 20,278 and added three points to his Masters Leaderboard score. Victoria finished in second place with a score of 10,800 and earned one match point. Amy placed third with a score of 0 and did not earn any match points.

While Amy fought arduously in the semifinals, the 40-game super-champ did not earn enough match points to advance to the finals. She exits the competition in fourth place with $100,000.

James, Victoria, and Yogesh will battle it out for the $500,000 grand prize and the Trebek Trophy in the finals on Wednesday.
