00:00Final Jeopardy! category of the evening, Military People. Here's the clue.

00:05In April 2020, Chief Master Sergeant Roger Toberman

00:09became the first enlisted member of this. 30 seconds, good luck.

00:30Yogesh Rao is up first with 10,200 points. His response was the Officers Club and that's

00:50incorrect, Yogesh. You wagered every single point. That'll drop you down to zero.

00:56Matt Amodio is in second place with 12,400. He wrote down what is Space Force and a little

01:03picture of space and that is correct. How much did you wager, Matt? Also everything. He doubles

01:09up to 24,800 points and currently has the lead. We come to James Holzhauer, third of all, 16,400.

01:15Did he think of Space Force? No little drawing but just as correct. How much did you wager, James?

01:228,615 takes you to 25,015 and you are the winner of this game. Congratulations.

01:30Three match points for you.

01:39Yogesh and James, that means you have both clinched a spot in the semifinals.

01:43Matt, you earn one match point for this game but sadly it's a moral victory. You are not

01:47going to be with us for the semis but guess what? You won $50,000 and we loved having you.

01:52Congratulations.

01:57Up next, it's Victoria, Amy and Nataya in our second game of the night and our last

02:02quarterfinal. Jeopardy! Masters returns in a moment. The category is short stories and here's

02:06the clue. Down. Steadily down it crept. Downward with its lateral velocity. To the right, to the

02:13left, is in this 1842 tale. 30 seconds. Good luck.

02:43Nataya Roach is up first. They had 2,800. The response. What is an anticlimactic end to the

02:55quarters? Not at all. I enjoyed this game very much but a nice congrats to Amy. No points for

03:00sportsmanship though. We're going to take away money. No, we're not. You bet zero. 2,800 for

03:04you. Amy Schneider was in second place with 7,800. She wrote down. What is the gold bug? You had the

03:11right author but not the right story, I'm afraid. You wagered also nothing at all like Nataya. You

03:18stand pat with 7,800. And Victoria Gross could not be caught with 21,005. Did she come up with the

03:24correct response? She also thought of Edgar Allan Poe but wrote down the telltale heart. No, this

03:29thing is moving downward and laterally because it's the pit and the pendulum. Pit and the pendulum.

03:35So what did you wager, Victoria? Nobody bet anything at all. Why am I even here? 21,005.

03:41Victoria gives you the last win of the quarterfinals. Three match points for you. Congratulations.

03:51Amy Schneider adds a match point for finishing in second. No match points for Nataya in third.

03:56Let's take a look at the final leaderboard of these quarterfinals.

04:00Those three new match points for Victoria give her a commanding lead. She has 16. Yogesh Raut is in

04:05second with 10 match points, just ahead of James Holzhauer with nine. By virtue of finishing

04:10second in this game, Amy Schneider edges ahead of Nataya Roach. She will make it to the semifinals

04:16by just one match point. Nataya, I'm so sorry you won't be here for the semifinals this year,

04:21but you finished in fifth place. That's good for $75,000, American. Congratulations. It was lovely

04:27to see you again. And Jeopardy! Masters will return on Friday as the semifinals begin. Victoria,

04:36Yogesh, James, and Amy will play themselves in every combination, with three of them emerging

04:41to play in the finals. Don't miss it. We'll see you on Friday.
