Former Poker Pro Alex Jacob Ends ‘Jeopardy!’ Run

Former poker pro turned day trader Alex Jacob has ended his six-day winning streak on “Jeopardy!”

Jacob had won $129,401 after six victories on the popular U.S. game show, garnering somewhat of a groupie following. 

The one time 2006 US Poker Championship was perhaps most notable by some observers for wearing the same shirt each night. 

He is one of the most successful of “Jeopardy!” contestants and could appear on a future championship show.
