OK, “Jeopardy!” fans. How spoiler eager are you?

If you would rather not know whether James Holzhauer breaks Ken Jennings’ long-standing winnings’ record, move on.

Otherwise, we’ve got some news you might be interested in.

A minute-long clip of Monday night’s Final Jeopardy round was leaked on social media and spread faster than Holzhauer going through a “Jeopardy!” board. The video shows what happens on Monday’s episode. The clip is said to have been leaked from a local CBS affiliate in Montgomery, Ala., where the show airs at 9:30 a.m. Central Time.

Going into Monday’s episode, the 32-time champ had amassed $2.46 million — just $58,485 shy of Jennings’ $2,520,700 grand total.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

The sports gambler from Las Vegas was crushing Jennings’ pace, which was accomplished in 74 games. However, contestant Emma Boettcher, a librarian from Chicago, put an end to his run.
