The Ocean City resident missed the Final Jeopardy question to lose to Andy Tirrell, a political science and international relations professor from San Diego.
They faced this clue under the “Plays” category: "A 1609 story in which an exiled king of Bulgaria creates a sea palace with his magic may have inspired the plot of this play."
Pannullo answered incorrectly with “What is The Little Mermaid?” leaving him with just $1,399.
Tirrell answered correctly with “What is The Tempest?” winning the game and unseating Pannullo.
Pannullo, a former professional poker player and customer service operations manager, ends his Jeopardy! run with the sixth-most consecutive wins in the show’s history. Overall, he’ll take home $748,268 in winnings, and $1,000 for finishing third on Tuesday.
Pannullo also has landed a spot in the 2023 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions.
