At $942,738, he is closing in on Ken Jennings' record for most money won in a single season.

Jennings, a "Jeopardy!" legend who walked away with $2,520,700 after his 74-game winning streak , is now weighing in on the latest player's run.

Jennings said he would never have the stomach for Holzhauer's large wagers during the daily doubles.

Holzhauer, a native of Naperville, Ill. who now lives in Las Vegas, spoke to ESPN about who might win a hypothetical match with Jennings.

"I'm good on the buzzer, but Ken is better. At a straight trivia test, I might take Ken," Holzhauer said.



The 34-year-old professional sports gambler goes for win number 14 Tuesday night.
