Poor Jerry Harvey had no idea who he was up against.

Jerry was doomed when Ken arrived, but a 2-day total of 70k is quite impressive!

Jerry: "I'm a 2-day champ. I'm on top of the world" Ken: "Hold my beer...."

When Alex said "I came out quickly, because I'm eager to get the game going" It almost felt like prophetic foreshadowing...

“We have an excellent champion.” Alex was right, but not in the way he thought at the time.

Seems odd to see Ken in the middle

I remember being a kid and turning in everyday to see if this guy could keep up the streak. It was incredible and I ended up missing the one he lost

The only time Ken ever stood anywhere besides the contestant-right podium.
