In this episode, Jim Bent, Player 173 from Beast Games Season 2, talks about the moments everyone is wondering about. Jim walks us through the pressure, strategy, and emotions behind the $10 million coin deal, how his on-screen relationship with Monika affected his game, and how the game changes when the stakes reach this level. We also cover his journey so far, key moves, and what it’s really like competing when one choice can change everything.
