"At the commercial break, Watson had amassed $23,881, after hitting two "Daily Doubles", where contestants pick the amount they want to bet on the response. The machine chose rather bizarre bets of $6,435 and $1,246. The way Watson was playing, the machine should have bet much more, but apparently, it's a tad cautious. Jennings had $1,200 and Rutter had $3,400 at the commercial break, and they were clearly frustrated by the machine's speed."
