The Streak Continues
Thursday was a tough game of “Jeopardy!” for James Holzhauer, but the streak lives on…
James won his 26th game with $52,108, but only after he went into Final Jeopardy with just $5,400 separating him from his challenger Nate Scheffey, a technology consultant from New York.
it all came down to who bet more of their winnings.
Holzhauer, a professional sports gambler, put down $20,908 of his $31,200. Scheffey put down $10,000 of his $25,800 winnings, which could have made him the winner if Holzhauer had given the wrong answer.
Holzhauer will play his 27th game Friday and have the chance to crack the 2 million dollar mark.
