Alex Jacob Wins Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions; Lance Bradley Joins PocketFives

Former professional poker player, Alex Jacob, has won the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions; former Bluff Chief Lance Bradley joins PocketFives.

The world of poker continues to pick apart the world’s best game shows with their pocket knives after Alex Jacob became the 2015 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner on Friday night.

Host Alex Trebek called Jacob’s performance “the most dominant performance of anyone in any of our tournaments.” An accolade of the highest order when you consider as of June 2014, Trebek held the Guinness World record for hosting 6,829 episodes of the hit game show.

Trebek’s trumpet blowing comes hot on the heels of several claims that Vanessa Rousso’s performance on the game show Big Brother was the most strategically brilliant in the shows history.
