Since then, the Green Bay native has maintained his winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest episode, the categories for the first round included \u201cNew York Nicks, Baker\u2019s Dozen, Potent Potable Rhyme Time, Heads I Win, Tales, You Lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After two consecutive games, Ben became a pro on his third day. He gave 14 correct answers and one incorrect response and took the lead in the first round. New players, on the other hand, struggled to match Ben\u2019s score. Greg Czaja played decently well as he gave seven correct and two wrong answers. Kari Elsila gave four correct answers, however, she found the first Daily Double and unfortunately delivered the wrong answer. For some time, her score went to zero.<\/p>\n<p>The players\u2019 scores from the first round were: Ben at $8,600, Greg at $2,800, and Kari at $400.<\/p>\n<p>In the second round of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/pop-culture\/who-is-ken-jennings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ken Jennings-hosted<\/a> episode, the categories included \u201cThe Ottoman Empire, \u201cB\u201dands, World Facts, Anagrammed Scientists, 20th Century Women, Deity Add A Letter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kari and Greg tried their level best to score big but Ben had set the bar too high after winning a Daily Double. In Double Jeopardy, the round consisted of two Daily Doubles. While one went to Ben and he scored $10,000 on it, Greg\u2019s luck didn\u2019t work for him. The latter found a True Daily Double, meaning he wagered the entire amount for one question. Unfortunately, the answer turned out to be incorrect. Despite losing a large amount, Greg landed in second place, while Kari continued to remain in third position.<\/p>\n<p>The scores of the players in the second round were Ben at $20,800, Greg at $8,000, and Kari at $7,200.<\/p>\n<p>In the Final Jeopardy round, Greg and Ben gave the correct answer to the final question. Kari, on the other hand, lost $5,000 by giving an incorrect response. Returning champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/pop-culture\/who-won-jeopardy-tonight-april-13-2023-thursday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ben Chan<\/a> wanted to play safe and thus wagered only $2,200, while the new players with low scores wagered between $4,000 and $5,000.
