Tournament of Champions[]
In the fifth quarterfinal game, he faced 5-day champion Steven Grade and 2019 Teachers Tournament winner Francois Barcomb. After successful conversion of an $8,000 Daily Double, Barcomb entered Final Jeopardy with $34,300, which was a $25,100 lead over Grade. Everyone got Final Jeopardy correct. He and Steven wagered everything, but Steven got a wild-card spot into the semifinals. His $8,000 was insufficient for a wild-card spot and eliminated him from the tournament.
