Holzhauer’s 21st victory adds $80,615 to his wallet and skyrockets his total earnings up to $1,608,627. He’s surpassed Julia Collins’ 20-game winning streak from 2014. Now, the only “Jeopardy!” champ left in his crosshairs is the notorious Ken Jennings.

Jennings scored an impressive 74-game winning streak in 2004, which remains the longest streak in "Jeopardy!" history. Although Holzhauer still has more than 50 games to go before catching up to Jennings, his total earnings are on track to surpass the reigning champ well before the 74 game mark.

As The New York Post notes, Jennings finished his winning streak with $2,520,700. Meanwhile, Holzhauer’s per-game average of $76,601 is much higher than Jennings’ $34,064.

Experts credit the Las Vegas sports gambler’s play style and strategy with his continued massive paydays. However, despite his performance in the past 21 games, Holzhauer dethroning Jennings is far from a sure thing.
