While playing the Double Jeopardy!, Yogesh earned only $9,200, following Katie at the second position with $5,600 and Jimmy at $3,400. Katie proved to be a fierce competitor and defeated Yogesh Raut in the next round.
She wagered and played and jumped from $5,000 to $22,600. She tried to wager the amount of $8,000 and eventually gained the lead. Although she thought it to be risky, her risk paid her well.
