Warning: This page contains spoilers for the April 30, 2025, 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 9:30 PM Eastern.

Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

Tonight’s second game is a straight rematch of March’s Jeopardy Invitational Tournament final between Matt Amodio, Roger Craig, and Juveria Zaheer. Matt won that in two straight games—will Game 3 be like the first two, or will the results be shaken up?

Final Jeopardy category: World Literature

Final Jeopardy! clue: A follow-up to an earlier work, this 1671 effort references eventual triumphs written in the book of Job & the Gospels

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Roger 15,200 Matt 10,600 Juveria 8,000)

Matt: You have two choices here: the conservative choice is to play for the Triple Stumper and bet no more than 1,399. Or, you could cover Juveria and bet 5,401. (Actual bet: 5,401)

Roger: Cover bet is 6,001. (Actual bet: 6,001)

Juveria: You have to be correct to win. I’d go all in here to force Matt to cover. (Actual bet: 8,000)
