A journalist and a mathematics student emerged victorious on the Croatian quiz show 'Potjera,' securing 14,500 euros. Petar Panjkota, a journalist for RTL Direkt, and Tamara Matuško, a 24-year-old mathematics student from Metković, managed to outwit the chaser, Morana Zibar, in the final round.

Panjkota and Matuško entered the final chase with a nine-step advantage over Zibar. Despite not having a flawless run in their final pursuit, they maintained focus and answered correctly, forcing Zibar to miss crucial questions. Their strategic play ultimately led them to victory, dividing the prize money.

This particular episode held special significance as it marked Morana Zibar's 500th appearance as a chaser on the show. The host and contestants acknowledged the milestone, with Zibar appearing in a celebratory birthday outfit for the occasion.

Other contestants in the episode included Josip Buklijaš, a 31-year-old mathematics master's graduate who previously appeared on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,' and Ivica Cilar, a 46-year-old IT professional. While Buklijaš and Cilar were eliminated by Zibar in their respective rounds, Panjkota and Matuško successfully defended their winnings.
