00:00So tonight's final Jeopardy! category is Latin science terms. Let's reveal the clue.

00:04In 1694, the latest in bio-knowledge was Tournefort's Elements of Botany,

00:12listing 698 of these, like ambrosia and chrysanthemum. 30 seconds, players. Good luck.

00:30We'll begin in the middle. Matt Amodio had 800 points after that tough day with double miss.

00:53He wrote down... what's genus? That is correct. So you're going to add to your 800 whatever you

01:00wagered. Nothing at all. You still have 800 points. Matteo Roach was in second place with 7400 points.

01:06Their response was... did they come up with genus? Flora. No, I'm sorry. Matteo wagered 311,

01:12knocking them down to 7089. But Victoria Gross, hugely, 31,600 points. Could not be caught today.

01:20Her response was... what are species? Close, but not quite correct. Hi, Nora. Your mom's

01:27going to get some match points in a second. How much did you wager, Victoria? 1733. So that's an

01:32even. 29,867. For winning our first game of Jeopardy! Masters, Victoria, you get three match

01:40points. But that one match point Matteo Roach gets for second place couldn't be important. We'll see

01:46how the math shakes out. In a moment, we'll be back with the second half of this episode of

01:51Jeopardy! Masters, featuring the three players we have not seen yet. James Holzhauer returns.

01:56That begins in just a moment. Stay with us. Final Jeopardy! of the evening has to do with

02:00World Heritage Sites. Let's reveal the clue. This entire capital is a World Heritage Site

02:08linked to the history of the military and charitable order of Saint John of Jerusalem.

02:1330 seconds. Good luck.

02:44We'll begin with Amy Schneider in third place with 7,000 points.

02:48Her response... what is Valletta? The capital of Malta is correct. Yes, the Knights of Saint John,

02:54also the Knights of Malta. So you're going to add to that. What did you wager, Amy? Nothing at all.

02:58I take it back. You have 7,000 points still. James Holzhauer was in second with 10,200,

03:04chasing that one match point for second place. He did know it was Valletta. In fact,

03:08he spelled it correctly. Two L's is correct. I wasn't sure. This isn't one of the spelling

03:12categories, but you're ahead of Amy. Unfortunately, you're also going to take the L in this game,

03:16James, I think. 13,210 and you're in second place. Yogesh Rock came in with 26,395.

03:23Did he know Valletta? He got it. Where's Valletta? Oh, two L's, one T. Interesting.

03:29So James does get the spelling brownie points. So you're going to add... what did you wager,

03:32Yogesh? You also wagered nothing. 26,395 means you win your first Jeopardy! Masters game.

03:39Three match points for you. One point for James Holzhauer in second place.

03:45That means the leaderboard looks like this. Victoria Gross is in first place right now with

03:50three match points. Yogesh also has three match points, but is in second due to falling short

03:55on the tiebreaker. Correct responses. Then James is in third with one point. Mateo Roach in fourth

04:01also with one point. And tonight's two winners will face off when Jeopardy! Masters returns

04:06on Monday. You won't want to miss it. Good night.
