Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for July 1

Extend the new champion streak to 13, because Jason came out ahead in the July 1 match. He was among two contestants who got the Final Jeopardy clue correct.

After finding both Daily Doubles in the second round, Jason had $17,800 heading into the final segment. His correct response earned him an extra $4,601, leaving him with $22,401 for first.

Heather was able to catch him with $11,200, but she only bet a very conservative $4,000 (not enough to catch Jason if he got it wrong). She also got the clue right and left in second with $15,200.

Returning champion Dave didn’t have as much luck and only had $6,000. He lost $1,300 on his guess of “Yorrick” and left in third with $4,700.
