Being down $14,600 in Jeopardy with only six questions left doesn't portend well for winning the game. Two-time defending champion Patrick Macaraeg was in this scenario when he had $4400 compared to Jennifer Godwin's leading $19000.
Patrick would hit five of the following six questions, one a daily double where he would wager $8700 out of $8800 to take the lead by $100 going into Final Jeopardy. He would get the final question correct in one of the most significant comebacks ever.
