Revenge is a dish best served ― in the form of a question.
“GET HYPE,” the Vegas sports gambler wrote on Twitter afterward.
The two will meet Thursday and Friday in the Tournament of Champions final ― a rematch of the shocking June 3 regular episode in which Boettcher, a librarian from Chicago, beat Holzhauer to end his 32-victory run. Holzhauer finished the streak with $2.46 million, just short of Ken Jennings’ $2.52 million record.
Holzhauer secured his finals spot with an easy semifinals victory on Tuesday, accruing $30,156 (basically points in a tournament system that will award $250,000 to the eventual winner).
Boettcher won her semifinal on Monday. A third finalist will be determined on Wednesday’s show. The contestants will start the final at zero and vie for the highest score over the two-day competition.
James Holzhauer vs Emma Boettcher, the rematch EVERYONE wants. I can’t wait for the two-day final which @James_Holzhauer WILL WIN $250,000.

The James Holzhauer – Emma Boettcher rematch I was hoping for is on on Jeopardy!
I have a feeling the show is headed for monster ratings Thursday and Friday for the finals of the Tournament of Champions. #Jeopardy— Tom Roussey (@tomrousseyABC7) November 13, 2019
