Tournament of Champions[]
In the fourth quarterfinal game, Bernbach faced off against Joey Beachum and Christine Valada. Throughout the first two rounds, he came up 27/28 correct responses (including 2/2 Daily Doubles). Bernbach was the only player correct in Final Jeopardy! and advanced to the semifinals. Beachum's and Valada's scores of $0 and $2,400, respectively, were not enough to advance to the semifinals as wildcards, and they both took home $5,000.
In the third semifinal game, Bernbach faced off against Vijay Balse and Andy Srinivasan. Throughout the first two rounds, he came up with 14/15 correct responses (including 1/1 Daily Double). Nobody got Final Jeopardy! correct, but after losing to Vijay, he and Srinivasan each took home $10,000.
