Re: "Maybe he was getting tired of it. "
Maybe. But she (the winner) was awfully good. She didn't get an answer wrong in the entire game. Neither did Holzhauer, but she picked two of the daily doubles, while he only got one... and as the first question of the day. That was unfortunate for the reigning champ.

So, going into the final, Holzhauer undoubtedly knew that he would lose for certain unless the question was absolutely brutal. In that case, a very small wager would be the best strategy.

The question was not brutal, everyone got it right, and of course Holzhauer lost.

I think he'll be the favorite to win the Tournament of Champions this year, though.

My wife thinks he wanted to lose ... his Final Jeopardy bet was atypically low in the extreme. If he had bet it all, which was far more characteristic of him, he would have won. I think she's right. Maybe he was getting tired of it.
