The Celebrated Trivia Whiz Now Has $1.5 Million, 20-Consecutive Wins
James Holzhauer hit two major milestone marks when he won yet another Jeopardy! game on Wednesday. The victory was his 20th-consecutive regular-game win, which ties him for second all-time with Julia Collins, who accomplished the feat in 2014. Collins was defeated in her 21st game.
James Holzhauer is a professional sports gambler from Las Vegas who plays the popular trivia show like a true riverboat gambler. As returning champion, he begins with the $1,000 choices to build a big bank and then nails the Daily Double, forcing his opponents to play catch up. And by the time he gets halfway through the second round, where the squares have a higher value, he builds a lead that’s generally too high to reach.
Holzhauer went on a hot streak in the second round, got both daily doubles and went into Final Jeopardy with $60,898. The Final Jeopardy category was “King James Bible.” The answer given was:All three contestants correctly got the correct response: “Who is Death?”
