Who is Philip Tiu? That's me.

Season 32 3-time champion: $96,598 + $1,000.

Philip’s $19,000 Daily Double wager in his second game (#7257, aired 2016-03-15) was the largest on record not adjusting for doubled dollar values, breaking the record jointly held by Roger Craig and Leonard Cooper at $18,000. (Adjusting for doubled dollar values, Philip's wager is only matched or beaten by Fredrik Gildea's $9,500 in show #3793, aired 2001-02-14 and Bob Beers' $10,000 in show #839, aired 1988-04-07.) Philip’s record would stand until 2019, when James Holzhauer bet $25,000 on a Daily Double in his fourth game (#7967, aired 2019-04-09).
