Our concluding semifinal matches the first winner of round one, Ben Ingram; giant-killer Joshua Brakhage; and the I’m-definitely-having-more-fun-than-you-are Sandie Baker, who had the highest score among non-winners.

Ben was the only player to run a category in the quarterfinals. He did not receive applause for his feat, however, because – and this should come as a surprise to no one – the category was taken out of order and in chunks.

Here are the wagering histories of Ben, Joshua, and Sandie.
