Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 13, 2024, second game of Jeopardy! Masters — please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled. It will be updated alongside the Eastern Time airing of the show, beginning at about 8:30 PM Eastern.

This game’s Jeopardy! Masters contestants:

Mattea Roach, a writer & podcast host from Toronto, Ontario, Canada (25-15, 2 points)

Amy Schneider, a writer from Oakland, California (48-16, 4 points)

Yogesh Raut, a cognitive & behavioral scientist from Vancouver, Washington (11-5, 10 points)

Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

Our second Masters match of the evening is between Yogesh Raut, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach. Much like the first game, this game is between a player who has clinched a spot in the semis (in this case, Yogesh), a player who’s in a good position (Amy) and a player who needs a pair of great performances in order to advance (Mattea). As Yogesh only knows “full send”, I think he’s most likely to end up winning this one.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Episode 6 pairings, per ABC: Yogesh/James/Matt; Victoria/Amy/Mattea. With these pairings, James has all but guaranteed a spot in the semifinals; I’d place his chances of not qualifying at somewhere less than 1 in 2500.
• I don’t think Amy made a wagering mistake here. I do think Yogesh did.
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Mattea 20,400 Yogesh 17,200 Amy 9,800)

Yogesh: Standard cover bet over Amy is 2,401. (Actual bet: 17,200)

Amy: If Yogesh bets small, you can’t both bet to pass him and win a Triple Stumper. You either need to bet less than 3,400 and hope he bets big, or bet more than 5,000 and hope you’re the only player to get Final correct. (Actual bet: 7,401)

Mattea: Standard cover bet over Yogesh is 14,001. (Actual bet: 14,001)
