His near-flawless game, against fellow champions Weckiai Rannila and Greg Jolin, secured his place in the semifinals and earned him widespread praise on social media.
While falling short of the record of 44 correct answers held by James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings, Vinjamuri’s performance was hailed as “dominating” and “a buzz-saw” by viewers.
