One-on-one with 'Jeopardy!' phenome James Holzhauer after he loses the game

All good things must come to an end, and on Thursday night, the run of "'Jeopardy!' James" as he's lovingly called was over. James Holzhauer captivated jeopardy watchers with his big bets and Vegas Strong remembrances, but during his last episode of the trivia game show, he met his match.

“I knew I could only win if Emma missed Final Jeopardy, as there was no way she wouldn’t bet to cover my all-in bet, ” Holzhauer explained to The Action Network, a media company that provides sports analysis. “So my only concern was getting overtaken by third place, and I bet just enough to make sure of locking him out.

"Betting big would have looked good for the cameras, but now I turn my straight bet (Boettcher misses) into a parlay (Boettcher misses and I get it right), ” he added.

He said he wasn't going to get paid until he lost, but he could easily have gone to the bank on his past winnings

He threw the game, he bet against himself.
