After four weeks of intense gameplay, the Second Chance Season 39 competition has come to an end with Juveria Zaheer, Xanni Brown, Matt Harvey, and Long Nguyen advancing to Champions Wildcard Season 39, which begins Tuesday, January 16.
On Monday, Long Nguyen claimed the fourth and final spot in the upcoming competition, which features players from Season 39 who won one or two games last season competing for the final two spots in the upcoming Tournament of Champions, when he defeated Roy Camara and Rotimi Kukoyi.
“The first time around I performed so bad[ly],” Long said, discussing his victorious return to the Alex Trebek Stage. “I just wanted a chance for redemption and I think that’s what happened.”

Long, a retired engineer from Las Vegas, went into Monday’s final with an advantage of $36,800 in the bank from Friday, while Roy and Rotimi started with $0 after coming up short in the first game of the two day finals. Though each player gave it their all, Long proved to be unstoppable and finished the two-day final in first place with a cumulative score of $56,277. Roy finished in second with $7,600 and Rotimi came in third with $1,000.
“Like they say in Vegas, you play to win,” Long said, discussing his victory and wagering strategy. “That’s how you have to approach this game and if you’re confident you just go for it, you know?”
