Jeopardy!‘s Champions Wildcard run has officially come to an end as finalists Mehal Shah, Drew Goins, and Will Yancey went head-to-head for the grand prize of $100,000 and a coveted spot in the Tournament of Champions.

My excitement as a daily viewer hit a fever pitch with the Champions Wildcard match, which saw an absolute shootout between two standout players in the current era of Jeopardy!. Don’t believe me? See what other champs had to say.

As fans may know, players in the Wildcard Tournament win when they obtain the highest cumulative dollar amount. This means losing points throughout the game can be detrimental to their overall succcess. However, according to Jeopardy! 's website, "the top four non-winners with the highest money totals will advance to the semifinals as wildcards."

They’ll get the chance to see Goins and Yancey play again when Shah joins them in the first round of the Finals on Thursday,3. Saric was the only non-wildcard player in the last semifinal game. Shah and Clauson were both wildcard entries (Clauson made it into a wildcard spot after Hersh’s bad bet).
