Professional sports bettor sets 'Jeopardy!' record

A professional sports bettor is dominating "Jeopardy!".

James Holzhauer won $110,914 during the episode that aired Tuesday, the most ever on a single day in the popular game show's 35-year history, according to a news release from the show. The previous single-day mark was $77,000 set on Sept. 14, 2010 by Roger Craig.

Holzhauer has won $244,365 during his four-day streak, also a record, and many in the "Jeopardy!" community think it's only the beginning for the 34-year-old Las Vegas family man.

After Holzhauer correctly answered Tuesday's Final Jeopardy -- winning $38,314 with "What is quantum leap" -- host Alex Trebek mentioned the name of past champion Ken Jennings, who won more than $2.
