The Buzz | Man wins over USD110k, breaks single-day record on ‘Jeopardy!’

A 34-year-old professional sports gambler from Las Vegas won more than UDD110,000 on “Jeopardy!” yesterday (Macau time), breaking the record for single-day cash winnings on the trivia television game show.

The show says in a statement that James Holzhauer (pictured) won $110,914 during the episode. The previous episode record of $77,000 was set by Roger Craig in 2010.

This win was the fourth consecutive victory for Holzhauer, whose winnings total more than $244,000. He will face two new challengers today.

“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek revealed in March that he was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer but said he intends to fight the disease and keep on working.

The episode that aired yesterday was taped Feb. 11.
