Jamie Ding has been pretty consistent on Daily Doubles throughout his time on Jeopardy!. These have led to runaway games and wins. Did two misses today cause him to end his streak?
Ding, a law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, went into his 18th game with a total of $494,012. On April 8, the bureaucrat faced off against Kevin Iannone, from Flagstaff, Arizona, and Divya Srijay, from Spartanburg, South Carolina. Warning: Spoilers for the April 7 episode of Jeopardy! ahead!
