Cris Pannullo From Ocean City, NJ Set to Defend Jeopardy! Streak

Right in Cris Pannullo's fantastic Jeopardy! 11-game win streak, the show went on a month-long hiatus for its annual Tournament of Champions.

The night Cris won his 11th game and officially became a Jeopardy super-champion was Friday, Oct. 14.

If that seems like a long time waiting for you, imagine how the wait has been for Pannullo, the customer success operations manager and former poker player from Ocean City who has been itching for the chance to extend his win streak.

The Tournament of Champions is the best-of-three final round with Amy Schneider, Andrew He, and Sam Buttrey. The finals could end as early as Thursday, Nov. 17, or as late as Tuesday, Nov. 22.
